AquaMarine, the wholly owned entity of Bainbridge International is delighted to announce a co-distribution agreement with Lalizas UK for the full leisure range of Pyrotechnic Marine Rescue Signalling Products from Pains Wessex.
This range extends the offering from AquaMarine and the addition of the pyrotechnic range opens a new area of safety for the company. As well as parachute and hand flares, smokes and miniflare products, the Pains Wessex products offered will include the newly launched Refill Packs. These are supplied in a 100 percent sustainable, eco-friendly, biodegradable, compostable and recyclable reinforced paper bag, allowing the boat owner to restock their existing polybottle storage, which in turn combats unnecessary waste.
The new product line will be available for collection from the AquaMarine Southampton Distribution Centre, via the Trade Shop, but can also be delivered via the fleet of vans operated by the parent company Bainbridge International Ltd. Further to this, and due to the difficulty with courier / mail order deliveries, pyrotechnics are now difficult to deliver through couriers. We therefore recommend that retailers always hold a minimum stock quantity of the range to ensure they can service the demand of their local customer base quickly, efficiently and without delay.
Pains Wessex is known to be the oldest marine distress signal brand with origins back as far as 1620 and in 1873, the company applied for the first patent of a marine distress flare and is still seen today as being the British Brand. Today, the quality, technological superiority, and innovative design of the Pains Wessex range, combined with worldwide approvals and manufacturing to ISO 9001 standard, ensure that the company's products are still world market-leaders.
Andrew Smith, Managing Director, Bainbridge International says: “We are delighted to add Pains Wessex products to the AquaMarine range and to work in partnership with Lalizas UK to ensure these vital products are delivered to the end user in a timely and efficient way. We have complete confidence in the reliability of the products from Pains Wessex and look forward to offering them to our customer base in the coming weeks.”
Charlie Mill, Lalizas UK, comments: “We are excited to work with AquaMarine and look forward to the partnership developing. They are in a great position with their fleet of vans to facilitate the shipment of pyrotechnics both locally and further afield, giving us the edge to supply the full Pains Wessex range direct to the door.
Keith Bradford, Product & Sales Manager, Pains Wessex (a Wescom Group brand), comments: “This is an exciting opportunity for Pains Wessex to partner with Lalizas UK to expand our routes to chandlery outlets through leading leisure market dealer, AquaMarine.
AquaMarine’s van deliveries will provide chandlers with a reliable and timely service. I look forward to the partnership being mutually beneficial in providing leisure boaters access to the best quality products”.
