August Race and Wills Marine Launch Regional Training Hub
7 August 2025

As part of a new drive to ensure that professional users and applicators have a clear understanding of everything from how their products are applied through to safe handling and storage August Race intend to set up four regional training hubs the first of which will be located at the new Wills Marine facility in Kingsbridge, Devon. 

As an Approved August Race Application Centre the team at Wills Marine have been using our products for many years and have an excellent working knowledge of the range. Their fantastic new showroom, workshop and office facility in Kingsbridge provides the perfect setting for August Race product training courses aimed at individuals intending to set up valeting and maintenance businesses and established companies adding valeting to their existing offer.

Peter Wallbank – August Race Technical Director

The new August Race training courses fit perfectly within the plan for our new facility, in addition to our marine maintenance and boat sales offer we intend to become a safety and maintenance centre offering both our existing customers those that are new to boating guidance and tips on the things to look out for to ensure a safe boating experience.
