This year, Oceanair’s UK distributor International Marine Products (IMP) were the winners of the Golden Blind; Andy Smith, Oceanair’s Product Manager at IMP received the award on behalf of the company.

Oceanair chose IMP due to their continued hard work, focus and performance across all of Oceanair’s market sectors: including superyachts, OEM, retail, and the technical aftermarket.

Notable achievements for IMP this year included the management of two superyacht projects; installing Oceanair products throughout (charter yacht Light Blue and SY Adele 2). Furthermore, IMP fully embraced Oceanair’s newly launched retail product range, successfully rolling it out across the UK placing stands in chandleries and establishing the range online.

Ian Howarth, Oceanair’s Sales Director, commented; “IMP are doing a fantastic job for Oceanair in the UK, working across our markets and product range, they are playing a large part in further raising our profile as well as sales in the UK. We feel they are very deserving of The Golden Blind Award and would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole IMP team.”
