Cyril Johnston Retail Manager Brian Mitchell says, "We're naturally delighted to have been appointed official dealers for Ariens and for Countax and look forward to working with Ariens Company to grow sales of both brands in the Greater Belfast area.

"Ariens is an all-new brand for Cyril Johnston. We believe there is significant growth potential for Ariens in the local area. Having previously supplied Countax, we're delighted to reacquaint ourselves with the brand after a gap of several years.

"Our initial stock order arrived shortly before Christmas and the response from customers, has been exceptionally positive, with sales already secured. Ariens and Countax both fill a gap which previously in our range and helpfully compliment our existing portfolio of stocked brands.

The Ariens Company's William Bryan says, "As we continue to grow and develop our presence throughout the UK, we're pleased to appoint Cyril Johnston Retail as an official dealer for both Ariens and Countax in the Belfast area. I'm already impressed by the efforts of the Cyril Johnston Retail team in getting behind the brands. I'm confident this is the beginning of what will prove a mutually successful and profitable partnership for both our businesses."
