Commenting on the 2025 show
"The show for us as a relatively new business has exceeded our expectations. We have met clients and partners that we would never have had access to if we had not been here. The team at British Marine have been really supportive and informative. We will be back next year, hopefully with both British Marine and DBT."
Neville Snell, Marine Hygiene
“Exhibiting with British Marine/SYUK in the Superyacht Pavilion allows CMD to access the best Superyacht show in the world, the team are very friendly and helpful. The British Marine staffed stand is ideal for us as it gives us a base and a meeting place, whilst also allowing us to go out and explore the show and meet customers and contacts.”
Jack Miller, General Manager, Custom Marine Developments (CMD)
This is our first time as an exhibitor at Metstrade having visited for many years. We were keen to exhibit and now, with the help of British Marine, we have taken this excellent opportunity to showcase our British made products."
Crispin Lennox, Hypro Marine
"Attending Metstrade for the first time was an incredible experience. Bowman International felt the event was a truly resounding success, exceeding all expectations. The organisation was flawless, and the atmosphere was vibrant and engaging. We had the opportunity to connect with prospective customers and industry leaders as well as discover innovative products and gain valuable insights. This highly regarded marine show provided a perfect platform for networking and collaboration and we are already looking forward to participating again next year. Our immense gratitude must go to the organisers for putting together such a fantastic event in an exceptionally welcoming city!"
Elias A. Elia, Chief Marketing Officer, Bowman International Group
"The show has been fantastic for us. METS is always a successful show for us. It’s the one show where so many of our customers, our dealers and our suppliers can be found in one place. From our point of view, as an exhibitor, it’s a worthwhile experience, especially being supported by British Marine as well. It’s a no brainer in terms of attending next year. It’s the one exhibition I can say as soon as the first morning is done, I know it’s worthwhile. It’s a great show and we look forward to coming back next year."
Stuart James, Sales Director, Marlec Engineering Company
"Makefast Marine has had an exceptional experience at Metstrade 2025. Standout highlights included engaging discussions with customers and industry leaders and the vibrant atmosphere of the show. We look forward to the prospect of returning in 2026 with British Marine, further contributing to the success of this premier marine trade show."
Chris Copper, Business Development & Account Manager, Makefast Ltd
“The show has been very good for us, it’s only the second time we’ve exhibited at METS in the Superyacht Pavilion. Last year, it was all about introducing ourselves and visitors seeing us as a new company but this year we’re much more focussed on active projects with people and projects we can quote for. We’ve seen similar numbers of people to what we saw last year when we were DAME award nominated with our swim ladder and for us it’s not about the quantity of people but the quality of people coming to see us and the opportunity for us to meet people that we would not be able to do outside of METS. We are certainly looking forward to coming back to METS in 2025 with an expanded areas for British Marine in the Superyacht Pavilion.”
