With immediate effect 440 and Blue Rock are the new Godin, Norman and La Patrie distributors in the UK.
Tom Harrison from 440 states;
“Ben Slater and I have been involved with Godin for more than ten years & we feel that together we can bring a sharper focus to the brand which we feel it richly deserves. On a personal note I’m delighted to be back involved and working with the Godin family”
Ben Slater’s Blue Rock Distribution will carry 440’s highly regarded catalogue of Baden and Yairi guitars, DSL straps, and Bullet Cable in the south where traditionally 440 has been less represented.
Ben Slater adds;
“This is a great opportunity for us and we’re honoured that Patrick Godin chose us to represent Godin, Norman and LaPatrie in the UK.”
Patrick Godin, Godin’s export sales manager echo’s these sentiments
“We are very happy to announce that Blue Rock and 440 Distribution will be our distributors of Canadian based Godin, Norman and LaPatrie guitars in the U.K. Previously working with both Ben Slater and Tom Harrison, we’ve come to know them as driven, hard working professionals and we look forward to a successful new relationship with them moving forward.”
Existing Godin dealers will be pleased to note that supply will be unaffected as all Godin guitars will continue to be delivered from Godin’s European facility in Holland.
