"The introduction of Commercial marine is a very positive step forward. Raising the profile of the commercial sector and embracing issues faced by commercial workboat builders is going to be a benefit to all the members. A united force speaking with one voice and sharing best practice is exactly what is needed ."

Alan Goodchild, Goodchild Marine Services Limited.
