Westside Distribution
Westside Distribution is a Glasgow-based UK musical instrument distributor that has been representing major international brands since 1995. Operating primarily on a B2B basis, the company supplies music retailers across the UK and Ireland and provides sales, marketing, logistics and dealer support for an extensive portfolio covering guitars, strings, effects, amplification, accessories and other musical equipment. Its current brand portfolio includes major names such as Martin, Schecter, Hohner, Dunlop, MXR, Cry Baby, Elixir, AER, Pedaltrain, Levy’s, Mono, G7th, TonePros, Voodoo Lab and Sigma, giving Westside a particularly strong position within the guitar and acoustic-instrument markets.
The company has also expanded its role beyond straightforward distribution through artist relations, product launches, marketing activity and its former Westside M.I. showroom in London’s Denmark Street, which helped connect its brands directly with the professional and enthusiast guitar community. A key part of its proposition is developing brands within the UK and Irish markets rather than simply moving products through the supply chain, making it an influential link between international manufacturers and independent music retailers.
