Finning UK & Ireland (Finning) has appointed DH Marine as its sole authorized Cat® marine dealer, electric power partner and rental agent for the Shetland and Orkney Islands.

The relationship ensures customers on the Islands can gain prompt access to Cat products, parts and service directly from the DH Marine team in Lerwick.

Commenting on the new dealership, DH Marine’s Managing Director, David said:

“We have been selling and supporting a comprehensive range of Cat products since we established the business in June 2000, serving a broad range of customers, from vessel owners and operators in the marine and offshore industries to businesses requiring on-site electric power generation.

“Our service proposition is based on ensuring that equipment performs reliably and economically, with our in-house service engineers providing planned and preventative maintenance, as well as emergency repair, across the Islands.

“This was a key factor in Finning’s decision to appoint DH Marine, which recognized both our breadth of product knowledge alongside our commitment to service excellence. We are looking forward to working closely with our Finning colleagues to expand our portfolio of products and technologies as well as the range of value-added services we can offer our customers.”

Steve Berry, Finning General Manager added, “Finning recognizes the unique logistical challenges faced by customers on the Islands. DH Marine is now ideally placed to supply and support Caterpillar marine and power generation products giving customers further confidence in a brand already renown for reliability and product support excellence. We are delighted to welcome David and the team to the Finning team and look forward to working closely together over the coming months.”
