Welcome to Superyacht UK bulletin 09
This newsletter arrives with you on the eve of a very important new industry gathering on Tuesday 26 to Wednesday 27 March. The British Marine Expo, in association with HPi Verification Services, is hosting our Superyacht UK Technical Seminar, as well as the Meet The Buyer event, the Supply Chain Conference, a Marine Showcase of 32 companies and other association meetings and training seminars. Read on below for more information.
Our AGM also has a new venue this year and will be hosted on 9 May in the Dickens Inn right alongside St Katharine Dock and the VIP-focused exhibits of the London Yacht Show. We're looking for AGM sponsors and will be offering LYS tickets at a discount to all Superyacht UK members. One constant though is our UK Pavilion at the Monaco Yacht Show – booking is now open. Please see below for details of both events.
Finally, it would be remiss of us not to express our sadness at the recent passing of Robert Braithwaite CBE, DL, Founder of Sunseeker International. The tribute posted by British Marine is but one of many celebrating the life of this pioneering man who started his boatbuilding career creating 17ft sportsboats and ended it having taken Sunseeker to rank among the world's leading superyacht builders. Our condolences go to Robert's family, friends and the whole Sunseeker team.
