RingProp PLC is pleased to announce the appointment of E.P.Barrus Ltd. as its exclusive UK and Republic of Ireland distributor for the company’s innovative ringed propeller line. The agreement was signed at the Southampton International Boat Show.
RingProp, a totally unique, technologically advanced propulsion system is the result of a 15-year research program. Principally designed to reduce the risk of fatal and traumatic injuries to both humans and marine life, the designs offer performance features that are superior to those of conventional, open-blade propellers.
The association with E.P.Barrus represents a significant milestone for RingProp in finding partners with the capability to develop its business both in the UK and worldwide.
Matt Sillifant, Marine Leisure Division Manager for E.P.Barrus, said, “We are excited by the RingProp technology and the opportunities that this unique product presents. The product is a perfect complement to our existing product range and an ideal extra profit opportunity for our dealer network”.
E.P.Barrus will employ its substantial technical experience to complement RingProp’s own testing program and help to create a selection guide for boat users in the UK. In addition, E.P.Barrus will be responsible for warehousing, distribution and sales within the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland.
Gary Mullins, Chief Executive Officer, RingProp PLC, said “This appointment marks an important date in the development of RingProp offering not only the strongest possible partner to develop sales in the UK market but an expert capability for testing, advising and promoting the benefits of the RingProp technology”.
