IKAR GB Names Official Distributor
16th February 2010
IKAR are a well established manufacturer of a wide range of safety equipment including retractable type fall arrest blocks, tripods with retrieval devices, harnesses, fall arrest lanyards, restraint and work positioning lanyards, rescue from height equipment and all other associated items of personal fall protection PPE.
Phoenix Survey & Safety have recently been awarded official distributor status for IKAR products within the UK. Head of Phoenix Safety Equipment Division Adam Baker will manage the IKAR product range. Adam Comments: “Phoenix has been hiring confined spaces and fall protection PPE equipment to its customers for many years.
One issue that has arisen periodically is the lack of support and high servicing and parts costs forced upon the distributors and ultimately customers by equipment manufacturers. As confined spaces equipment forms a key part of our business model Phoenix Survey & Safety have been looking for a manufacturer that has a strong brand name and a physical base in the UK able to readily supply stock, parts and servicing support. I believe IKAR’s high end products and Phoenix’s strong customer base will deliver the beneficial solution both companies have been searching for.”
IKAR GB representative Adrian Jones comments: “Phoenix are well established providers of equipment within our industry sector and already had the infrastructure in place to offer the sales, hire, service and training of our full range of products. The IKAR brand has been going from strength to Strength in the UK and having Phoenix on board is a big push in the right direction.”
