The company will be relocating to a 16-acre site which forms part of commercial space allocated on the edge of the unique Graven Hill Development to the south of Bicester, formerly owned by the MoD.

Barrus markets and distributes an enviable line-up of marine propulsion brands including Mariner, Mercury, Yanmar, John Deere and Quicksilver to name but a few. Engineering excellence has always been a strong focus with expertise in specialist applications engineering support and the most modern custom-engine building facilities located in Bicester. Proudly ‘Built in Bicester’, the company designs, develops and builds engines for customers across the UK and overseas.

It is anticipated that Barrus will occupy the new site in 2019 when the Phase 2 land transfer from MoD to Graven Hill is due to complete.
