We are pleased to say that we now have all our production staff back into the workshops and will be progressing jobs where we have access to Marinas etc.

Poduction/Site Visits:
We are now able to visit boats for patterning/fitting work at several marinas and moorings and expect that many more will be relaxing restrictions in the near future. Our teams  are trained and will adhere to current safe-working practices and social distancing guidelines. Appropriate PPE will be used whilst working on your boat.

Office:
The office staff will continue to work remotely from home for the foreseeable future. There is an answerphone on our office landline but we would ask that all enquiries be sent via e-mail or by using the ENQUIRY form where they will be dealt with as usual. If you need to speak to a member of the team please call 07846 076588.

Workshop/Customer Visits:
Customers wishing to visit our premises please make an appointment first. There is a specific area marked out for customers to collect or drop off goods safely. The main door will be kept closed so please ring the bell for attention.
It is important that customers contact us before visiting so that we can be prepared and reduce contact time to a minimum.


The situation remains fluid and we will adapt as quickly as possible to any new guidlines. Changes to our arrangements will be posted here as and when they occur.
