Walcon Marine will once again be sponsoring the 2012 Marina Conference organised by the British Marine Federation. The annual event is a possibility for delegates from companies working in the construction, management and operation of marinas from all over the country and overseas to meet for two days and update and share their knowledge via a series of seminars, workshops and networking events. Non-members are also very welcome. In 2011 the event was visited by 135 delegates from seven countries including the Netherlands, Germany and Portugal.

This year the topics being covered will include branding, customer retention strategies, legislative updates and business improvements, and there will be a boat tour of Chichester Harbour and its various marinas. The after dinner speaker will be the inspirational Olly Rofix, who last year sailed single-handed around Britain with the objective of recruiting 40 donors to aid leukaemia sufferers, of which he was one himself.
“We look forward to welcoming friends old and new to the 2012 Walcon-sponsored Marina Conference,” said Clive Kemp, Walcon Marine‘s Commercial Director. “This annual gathering is the leading event in the marina industry’s calendar and packs a lot into two days. It presents a great opportunity for the delegates to be updated on the latest changes and developments in our industry, and the dinner is always enjoyed by all.”
The conference will be held from the 25th to 26th April at Hayling Island, near Portsmouth.
