Power Equipment would like to acknowledge the contribution of our dealer network in providing great support and product knowledge to the customer face of the Yanmar product. We are proud to announce that Unitech Marine Sales has earned the accolade as Power Equipment's Yanmar - National Marine Dealer of the Year for 2019.

Based upon a range of criteria including, sales growth across the entire year, business diversity, service performance and customer satisfaction they have achieved outstanding performance and provided exceptional customer support to achieve this honour. The annual awards are just one measure by which Power Equipment appreciate the tireless support and contribution of the service network in maintaining the esteem by which the Yanmar brand is recognised.

Unitech Marine Sales is located in Derwent Park, just off the Prince of Wales Bay on the Derwent River. They have been an authorised Sales & Service Agent since 2009 and provide sales and support for Yanmar and more recently John Deere marine engines and Torqeedo electric outboard motors.

Comprised of a team of 14 they are headed by brothers Peter and Matthew Shedden who have extensive experience in pleasure and commercial diesel marine engines. A family business they ensure a polite and personable experience to all customers. Providing complete support services including welding, CNC milling and turning they are experienced to provide new and re-power solutions and meet the demands of all marine and general engineering customers.

"Unitech Marine Sales had an amazing year with some large commercial installations in addition to their numerous pleasure-craft engine sales, tremendous growth and have received glowing recommendations from their customers based on the levels of support they have provided across the extensive product categories they support," said Michael Blair, Power Equipment's, Marine Group Manager.

"It is fantastic to see continued high levels of support that is based upon extensive knowledge to bolster the Yanmar product and I sincerely congratulate Peter and Matthew and the entire team at Unitech Marine Sales for winning this honour," commented Michael.

Michael congratulates all the winners and commented that, "On behalf of Power Equipment I am very proud to congratulate all the dealers who worked very hard to achieve this recognition in their respective territories.

"I am also very encouraged by the level of enthusiasm and significant growth being achieved by many dealers, some of which have only been part of the Power Equipment team for less than 5 years but already are shaping up to be very possible contenders to feature in the 2020 Power Equipment Yanmar Marine Dealer awards."
