“We have been actively working to engage marketing representative firms that understand playgrounds and are committed to the highest levels of quality and service. These three firms have demonstrated a strong dedication to these ideals, and they have proven their marketing capabilities as well. We’re excited about these new relationships and are eager to achieve a higher profile in these areas,” said Tim Ahern, chief executive officer for BCI Burke.
Including these three new rep firms, there are 26 companies representing Burke across the country, according to Ahern. Arbor Recreation Announces Agreement to Market BCI Burke Playgrounds
Arbor Recreation, headquartered in Sterling, VA., has partnered with playground manufacturer BCI Burke to offer playgrounds and equipment for children in Washington, D.C. and parts of Maryland.
“Burke has a reputation as a quality manufacturer of playground equipment and fits well with our desire to represent manufacturers with an unwavering commitment to safety, service and innovation,” said Greg Stone, president of Arbor Recreation. “We’ve been selling playground equipment since 1992 and are eager to start selling the Burke product line,” said Stone. Buell Recreation Announces Agreement to Market BCI Burke Playgrounds
Buell Recreation has partnered with playground manufacturer BCI Burke to market playgrounds to schools, parks, day care centers and other organizations throughout Idaho, Nevada and Utah.
“We sought BCI Burke because of its innovative product lines and its focus on quality products. We’re eager to begin placing Burke playgrounds in Idaho, Nevada and Utah and believe Burke’s industry leading Generations Warranty will get people’s attention,” said Doug Buell, president of Buell Recreation. Playground Veteran to Represent BCI Burke in Kentucky, Tennessee
Playground veteran Aaron Vicars has reached an agreement to represent BCI Burke playgrounds in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Vicars, a 17-year veteran of Vicars Recreation products, has previously represented other playground lines in Tennessee but has formed a new firm, Burke Playgrounds of Kentucky and Tennessee, to market Burke’s products.
“I’m really excited to be representing BCI Burke because their philosophy and way of doing business matches mine. I don’t think anybody can match Burke’s quality or service. They have the industry’s best warranty and best track record for on-time and complete deliveries,” said Vicars.
Brian Johnson, director of sales and marketing for Burke, said Vicars will market BCI Burke’s full line of products, including its popular fitness-oriented Intensity® playground.
“Like our other representatives, Aaron and his partners will provide direct support and local expertise for schools, day care centers, parks and other organizations with BCI Burke. They will be available to arrange for surfacing, installation and a wide range of complementary products,” said Johnson.
The timing is also perfect because of a major product announcement planned for the fall.
“They’re keeping this close to the vest, but it will be Burke’s biggest product announcement in years. It will provide new levels of flexibility in the design of high-end playgrounds for schools, parks and other venues,” he said. Become A Burke Representative
