Halyard announces Darthaven Services as South West distributor

Halyard, Europe’s largest designer and manufacturer of specialist marine exhaust systems has appointed Darthaven Services as distributor of its products for the South West UK region.

From January 2012, Darthaven Services will be responsible for the sale and distribution of Halyard’s GRP silencers, water separators, exhaust accessories, Aquadrive couplings and noise insulation materials in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Darthaven Services was selected by Halyard, because of its trade record as a successful distributor of other well-known brands, combined with a proven method of distributing technical products to the marine industry.

The company represents five major engine and generator brands in the South West, and has a significant commitment to stockholding new units. Darthaven has also developed a major spare parts hub supporting its products in the region, with travelling sales advisors and engineers to offer help and promote sales. Darthaven Services forms part of Darthaven Marine, an independent, family run business with over 30 years experience in the industry. The company has one of the largest chandleries in the South West, an electrical and electronics facility, engineering unit and a repairs and maintenance department in addition to the distribution business.

Tim Boys, Distribution Manager at Halyard says: “Darthaven Services will provide a strong, regionally based service for Halyard’s products in the South West. The company is well established in the region and has a highly experienced team with the technical knowledge required to sell our products to new and existing customers.”

David Hill, Business Development and Customer Liaison Manager at Darthaven Services comments: “Darthaven is proud to be appointed the South West distributor for Halyard’s products. Halyard’s products fit well with the ever increasing range of high quality leisure and commercial products we supply to our customer base in the South West.”

Halyard appoints BoatBiz as new South Africa distributor

Halyard, Europe’s largest designer and manufacturer of specialist marine exhaust systems, has announced the appointment of South Africa based BoatBiz, as its first African distributor. Based in Cape Town, BoatBiz is headed by Managing Director Gavin Botha who has a ten year track record of successfully supplying specialist marine products to boatyards and builders in both South Africa and neighbouring countries.

Tim Boys, Distribution Manager at UK based Halyard, commented: “We were looking for a distributor who could provide local contact and on-the-spot supply, delivery, service and advice to help us grow our business in South Africa. BoatBiz is a well-connected and respected organisation that fits the bill, so we are delighted to be working with them.”

Gavin Botha said: “We have been in the industry for the past ten years trading as a very successful supplier of marine hardware. I believe there is a gap in our market for a specialised exhaust system supplier and Halyard has a proven track record in this field. With the help of Halyard we will market its product into the commercial sector of our marine industry and with Halyard’s experience we are sure that we can create a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties. So far the product has been very well received and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Halyard. My thanks must go to Mr Boys for allowing us the opportunity to market the Halyard brand in South Africa.”
