Smartgyro appoints new UK Master Dealer

Smartgyro has appointed south coast engineering supplier and service agent Golden Arrow Marine as its new UK Master Dealer, to strengthen the supply of its Smartgyro stabilisation solutions for both refits and new builds. The partnership will also provide commissioning and technical support to UK OEMs.

As UK interest increases in line with a growth in stabilisation demand across the world, Smarygyro says Golden Arrow Marine, with four branches across the south coast, established global industry contacts and more than 80 years serving its customers, is well positioned to raise awareness about the benefits of smartgyro units.

Representing a range of brands as a long-standing provider of marine engines, generators and equipment to the leisure and commercial sectors, Golden Arrow Marine also has a strong reputation for technical expertise. The company will provide ongoing back-up for Smartgyro customers in the UK, and to overseas customers when required, at both OEM and end-user level.

“We have witnessed strong demand for gyro stabilisers, with the technology proving popular in recent years in the UK leisure and light duty commercial markets, so we are really looking forward to working with the Smartgyro products,” says Martin Bizzell, engineering director at Golden Arrow Marine. “The units meet the needs of our customers looking to improve their time and experience out on the water in more conditions.

“One of the greatest advantages we see is that installation and maintenance can be performed on-board, which can reduce downtime of commercial boats and service costs for all customers. The range complements our existing product portfolio extremely well, so we are confident that we can use our many years of experience and our technical expertise to successfully expand Smartgyro’s presence.”

Golden Arrow Marine has immediate access to the current SG40 and SG80 models, and will add the new SG10 and SG20 gyro stabilizers for smaller boats to its portfolio when they become available.

Pieter Feenstra, sales manager at Smartgyro, comments: “We are very pleased to confirm the appointment of Golden Arrow Marine as our new UK Master Dealer. We see the team as a very strong partner due to their technical skills and extensive experience in both the leisure and commercial sectors. Golden Arrow Marine will be able to support us with the key OEMs, such as Sunseeker, Princess and Pearl, as well as increasing our presence within the UK aftermarket.”
