MARINE BUSINESS NEWS UPDATE
NEWS UPDATE
4 February 2022
Publishers note
Another busy week with good news across many boating sectors. Reports are that some sectors continue to see plenty of demand, however supply chain issues are ongoing.
As usual, today we share a handful of stories, but not all that we have published this week. We endeavour to bring you new news each and every day.
If your business has news, please share it with our news room. The email address is noted below.
If our travel continues to be relaxed, it is highly likely that many of us will be seeing each other again in person for the first time in a while at some upcoming events.
Both Marinas22 and the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show have been sharing good news and those events will undoubtedly be activities not to miss.
Please feel free to contact me or our team at newsroom@marinebusinessnews.com.au
Stay safe on the water,
