MARINE BUSINESS NEWS UPDATE
NEWS UPDATE
11 March 2022
Publishers note
Whilst we all hoped for some respite this week, the weather gods had a different idea.
Just when we thought things were getting better, most of the east coast copped another hammering. Our thoughts are with those marine industry businesses who have had to close their doors through water damage, or simply because they could not get to their business premises.
Good news this week from the BIA with the release of details for exhibitors wishing to exhibit at the Sydney International Boat Show.
Whilst supply chain issues remain, reports internationally have said that businesses participating at shows have had excellent results. Show visitors are hungry for information and are desperately wanting to re-engage with boating businesses, if not for today, in preparation for tomorrow.
