Marine & Maritime Sector Business Briefing
12 March, 2024 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
£9.00


The UK has one of the largest marine and maritime sectors in Europe, employing more than 360,000 people and contributing £19 billion gross value added, with the Solent being right at the heart.
Many marine and maritime businesses are based here in the New Forest, ranging from shipping, boat building and marine engineering to marine technology and leisure marine.
Our annual networking and support meeting for marine and maritime sector businesses – and others who do business with those businesses – is a great opportunity to tell your story, share your successes, raise your concerns and learn from each other.
This is a joint event with Maritime UK Solent with updates from:
- Stuart Baker, Managing Director of Maritime UK Solent
- James Hassett, CEO of Solent Freeport
- Philippa Langton, Partner at Lester Aldridge Marine
- David Kendall, Optima Yachts - Winner of the Marine & Maritime Award at the New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards 2023
We will also celebrate the other Finalists of the Marine & Maritime Award:
- Sanders Sails
- Waterlodge UK
This business briefing is over coffee/tea at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club, leaving plenty of time for discussion and networking. Come along to find out what other businesses are doing in 2024.
Bookings for this event close on Monday 11 March 2024.
