That’s a wrap on the Southampton International Boat Show 2024! We want to thank all of you that were able to visit our show stand on our dedicated Sovereign Harbour day and throughout the 10 days of the show. It was a pleasure to welcome nearly 4000 guests to the stand and we hope you found your visit both enjoyable and informative.
High accolades for our apprentice
We are to say another huge congratulations to Ava for completing her 2-year Marina and Boatyard Operative apprenticeship with a merit. Not only did she graduate during the Southampton International Boat Show, but Ava was also further awarded a certificate of recognition by British Marine for being an 'Apprenticeship of the Year' 2024 finalist, nominated by our team.
She was also given the opportunity to meet HRH The Princess Royal at the show, celebrating young talent within the marine industry. As you can all agree she has done a fantastic job as our apprentice and we are so pleased she will continue her journey with us on a permanent basis as a Customer Service Advisor.
