Morris Site Machinery will be selling the

Makinex Range under the company’s

Morris Select Range including: Makinex

Dual Pressure Washer; Makinex Jack

Hammer and Trolley; and the Makinex

Powered Hand Truck.

Rory Kennard and Paul Weaver, Makinex

International Sales Manager, spent time

in the English Countryside providing

training for Makinex products with the

Morris Site Machinery team.

Throughout the demonstration and

training Rory said he was delighted with

the enthusiastic response to the products

from the sales and marketing teams.

“It was a no brainer for them as soon as

they could see the innovative product

range and the benefits they provide to the

end user,” Rory said.

Makinex partners with UK site machinery business

Makinex will now be selling its products via Morris Site Machinery in the UK –

British manufacturer and distributor of a range of world leading on-site machinery.

“Especially the Powered Hand Truck that

constantly amazes users as soon as they

see the benefit to their team in terms of

safety and time saved.”

Phil Winnington, Managing Director

at Morris Site Machinery said: “It was

during a meeting together earlier this

year our Chairman Chris Morris and I

spotted the Makinex products and asked

to find out more. We could see a distinct

niche in the UK market for these kinds

of innovative, time saving devices and

hence the plan was hatched to become a

distributor in the UK.”

According to Paul Weaver: “Due to

Morris’s experience and expertise in the

construction equipment industry in the

UK, we feel this is a perfect match, and

are looking forward to the future.

“Morris Machinery and Makinex

have many common traits including

a reputation for quality products and

providing first class service,” Paul said.
