New Hollis and Oceanic distributor in UK and Ireland

Huish Outdoors has announced a new distributor for the Hollis and Oceanic brands, in another big shake up in the dive industry.

Sales inquiries for Oceanic and Hollis will be managed by Justin Hanning, current UK Sales Manager for the existing Huish brands Atomic Aquatics, BARE, Stahlsac and Zeagle.

“We are extremely excited to reintroduce these brands to the UK and Ireland markets under the Huish Outdoors portfolio. We are proud of the brands we own, and are committed to building them in these two very important markets with well supported dealer partners and our diversified and complimentary portfolio of products,” says Mike Huish, CEO of Huish Outdoors.

From May 1, 2018 UK and Ireland dealers will be supported with inventory from the company’s distribution warehouse in Germany. Service inventory to support Oceanic and Hollis regulators will be available to ship from this distribution warehouse from March 1, 2018.

Dealers who require urgent product or service inventory are being offered support directly from the U.S. warehouse.

Huish Outdoors will be releasing a schedule in the coming months outlining a series of regulator repair clinics and product knowledge sessions throughout the UK and Ireland.

These sessions will enable dealers to become Authorised Repair centres and will take place from April 2018. In the meantime JR Services has been enlisted with authorised certified technicians on hand and will have service inventory available to support regulator repair from the end of February.

Until now, the Oceanic and Hollis brands in the UK have been represented by Fathom Outdoors, (previously Oceanic SW). Oceanic and Hollis are Huish Outdoors’ fifth and sixth acquisitions since 2011.
