JOHN
HORNBY SKEWES & CO. LTD.,
ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR.
JHS is delighted
to announce the appointment of Musical Distributors Group, MDG as the
exclusive US distributor for the JHS guitar brands Fret-King, Vintage,
Encore and Santos Martinez.
The brands have heretofore been distributed in to the US by MIDC Ltd.,
based in Toronto, Ontario, and many US dealers have already discovered
the benefits of JHS cooperation with industry guitar guru, Trev Wilkinson
to bring what is viewed in the 55 markets the brands are sold in, an
absolutely unbeatable blend of high specification, great dealer margins,
and spectacular consumer prices.
"We are very excited to be distributing the various JHS brands
in the USA," says MDG President, Steven Savvides. "With their
excellent product offering and solid reputation in the market, we look
forward to leading their growth in the US."
JHS MD Dennis J Drumm commented, "From the first moment we met
Steve and Jack, and their team, we got the sense that MDG was a vibrant,
progressive company, very commercially minded, but with a real affinity
for what makes a great guitar, as well as a great deal."
"Trev Wilkinson and I put so much heart and soul into making certain
that our brands have a real reason to be in the market, that anyone
from a beginner to an accomplished player can pick our guitars up and
be blown away, that it's vital for us to have a distribution partner
in the US who has as much passion for our brands as we do, and cares
as much about the product as they do the bottom line."
"The bottom line for US dealers, who may never have seen the brand,
is a real surprise at what can be achieved when knowledge is used the
right way, a great brand story, and healthy dealer margins."
MDG will be exhibiting Fret-King, Vintage and Encore at Summer NAMM
2010, 18-20 June, with JHS Managing Director, Dennis Drumm and designer
Trev Wilkinson in attendance.
