SPOT appoints UK distributor
SPOT manufacturer of the world's first satellite messenger has appointed SM Group (Europe) as their UK distributor.
Having specialised in the distribution of electronics for marine and outdoor markets for over 25 years, SPOT will sit comfortably with SM Group's comprehensive portfolio of leading brands.
Greg Tees, General Manager of SPOT Europe said: "SPOT has proved to be very successful in the USA and Canada and we expect to mirror this around the globe with the next step being the UK. We want to make the great outdoors more accessible and see SPOT as a means to do this, providing a lifeline at the touch of a button.
"It is vital to the success of SPOT Europe that we secure the right distributor, one which is well established and a specialist in our core markets - the outdoor and marine industry. We are therefore delighted to be working with SM Group who impressed us with their glowing credentials and we look forward to moving SPOT into the UK marketplace."
As the first device of its kind, SPOT gives the user a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it and emergency assistance when and where needed. Users can check in with loved ones, allow others to track their progress or call for help.
With safety in mind, SPOT uses satellite technology allowing it to work where mobile phones do not, providing users with a lifeline to receive help at their exact location, wherever that may be.
This potentially lifesaving technology is now available to the everyday consumer making SPOT an essential part of any outdoor adventurer's kit.
Chris Northmore, Managing Director of SM Group added: "We are delighted to add such an innovative product as SPOT to our catalogue. We are continually searching to find new products to distribute and with SPOT's unique features we feel that we have a product which adds to our range without directly competing with existing products."
