MARITIMO APPOINTS WA DEALER
Thursday, 07 May 2009
Maritimo has appointed Martin Box Marine to represent the brand in WA. Chris Box, Dealer Principal, will head up the experienced sales and service team.
Martin Box and his team have been in the marine industry in WA for over 30 years. They are also one of the biggest dealers and brokerage teams in the West.
Martin Box Marine boasts two of the most prestigious locations in WA at Freemantle Yacht Club and Hillarys. Martin Box Marine will be running a full Maritimo sales operation from both locations while the main servicing will be carried out at the Fremantle site.
“It’s great to have Martin Box Marine on board with Maritimo,” said Maritimo Marketing Director Luke Durman. “They are a highly professional outfit which will offer great service to our new and existing customers,” he added.
Durman said that the success of Maritimo in the West has led to the formal arrangement with Martin Box Marine: “In the past we have had a loose brokerage arrangement which has been very successful in WA. However with over 42 Maritimo boats in WA, we had to focus on a partnership with a company that manages the entire process – inventory, sales, service and warranty – Martin Box Marine is that company.”
Chris Box was equally enthusiastic about representing the Maritimo brand in the West: “We’re very enthusiastic about having Maritimo in the Martin Box stable,” he said. “I will be handling the Maritimo brand myself and look forward to meeting all the new and prospective owners and carrying on the tradition of excellent service both in sales and aftersales that the company has earned over the years".
“My father Martin has had a long association with Bill Barry-Cotter and I am looking forward to continuing that association,” he added.
Martin Box is a foundation member of the Boating Industry Association of WA and also president of the Marine Brokers’ Institute of WA.
