Cox Marine appoints UK distributor

Cox Marine, the British manufacturer of the CXO300 outboard, has appointed Barrus, a UK-based importer and distributor of marine equipment, to its distributor network.

Oxfordshire-based Barrus has a network of marine dealers that cover their new Cox territories. The firm will be collaborating with Cox to select those that will become official Cox / Barrus Dealers in the near future.

“We are thrilled to welcome Barrus to the Cox Marine family,” says Gemma Crocker, network and commercial operations director at Cox Marine. “Partnering with a UK-based distributor with such an impressive pedigree both demonstrates the mutual confidence in the demand for our product and highlights our commitment to providing outstanding service to our customers in our home market.”

Barrus‘ head of marine, Ben Allen, adds: “We are excited to represent Cox Marine and add their revolutionary outboard to our premium product portfolio. Our dedicated specialist teams are delighted that we are now able to offer an alternative outboard that meets the growing demand for a safe, efficient and reliable propulsion solution.”

The news comes two weeks after Barrus launched a new B2B marine equipment portal, MyBoat247, to improve the purchasing experience for its marine dealers.

Led by CEO Gavin Wesson, Cox Marine is supported by a worldwide network of 25 distributors covering over 175 territories.
