To be part of a business that truly innovates and aims to revolutionise the marine industry is of great appeal. I am really looking forward to this opportunity with Cox Marine to help bring an innovative, new and unique product – a high performance, low marine emission, low TCO (total cost of ownership) diesel outboard – to market. Whether it is commercial operators looking to navigate further and operate for longer periods with reduced down time, or leisure users wanting high performance from an easily accessible and safer fuel source, the CXO300 ticks a lot of boxes.
Harry Heasman, Sales Director EMEA, Cox Marine
At Cox Marine we continue to grow and expand inline with consumers expectations and demands, and with a spate of recent appointments we’re pleased to announce the appoint of Harry Heasman as our new Sales Director for the EMEA region.
The new regional position strengthens our focus on wholesale activity within EMEA as we build a global sales structure capable of responding to growing demand for our high-performance CXO300 diesel outboard engine.
Harry brings with him over a decade of experience working with some of the industry’s most prestigious brands, and has been immersed in the UK sailing scene from a young age, now cruises in the Solent on both power and sail vessels.
Effective immediately, Harry will be responsible for: developing, managing and implementing sales and aftersales strategies; building and maintaining the sales and support network; and leading and motivating partners to achieve business targets.
Harry joins at an exciting growth phase for us as we progress from engine development to full-scale product manufacturing, with a second shift already fully underway to increase production of the 300 hp CXO300 engine as demand rises.
Harry said: “To be part of a business that truly innovates and aims to revolutionise the marine industry is of great appeal. I am really looking forward to this opportunity with Cox Marine to help bring an innovative, new and unique product – a high performance, low marine emission, low TCO (total cost of ownership) diesel outboard – to market. Whether it is commercial operators looking to navigate further and operate for longer periods with reduced down time, or leisure users wanting high performance from an easily accessible and safer fuel source, the CXO300 ticks a lot of boxes.
“I will be working closely with our distribution partners to ensure that Cox products are offered as standard by the industry’s leading OEMs and refit yards, providing customers with an easy option of selecting a propulsion system that offers reduced emissions, better fuel economy, increased safety and high performance. My aim is to help Cox to become a brand that is synonymous with customer service excellence, delighting our clients throughout the whole sales, delivery and support process.”
Gavin Wesson, CEO of Cox Marine, commented: “I would like to welcome Harry to our growing team. I am confident that his industry knowledge and contacts, background in establishing and managing distributor and dealer networks, and his familiarity with the nuances of the marine sector, will be of great benefit to the company. The addition of such an experienced sales manager in this key position provides fresh impetus in our drive to build on the significant progress we have made in EMEA countries in developing brand awareness with customers and OEMs alongside our valued distribution partners.”
Harry marks the first of a number of Sales Director announcements which will follow in the coming months for separate regions, as we finalises a robust global sales structure to support our 30-strong distributor network covering 100 countries.
