Seawork contributes to WaterMota’s success
Last year saw continued growth for WaterMota with turnover up again. The company says that Seawork has contributed to its continued success and has a larger stand booked for 2014.
Traditionally WaterMota has always had two stands at Seawork – one just inside the entrance and a second on the quayside, plus vessels afloat. In also sponsored the new restaurant area in Hall C in 2013.
“Sponsoring the restaurant was an ideal opportunity for WaterMota to get its name in front of even more people,” said MD Mike Beacham. “It was definitely worthwhile and we will be repeating the sponsorship again in 2014.”
He added: “Seawork is always a great show. Not only is the visitor demographic our target market but we also carry out a lot of business with the other exhibitors. It’s a great place to meet our customers.”
Among the customers was Peter Smith of Meercat Workboats, who bought two Doosan L086TIH engines before the show officially opened, and fellow Seawork exhibitor, Iceland based Trefjar, which has three Cleopatra 50s each powered by 4V222TIM engines.
Other installations which have contributed to WaterMota’s successful year include Eileen McLoughlin, the latest general harbour tug built by Macduff Shipyards for John McLoughlin and Son (Shipping) powered by twin Doosan 4V222TIH engines and three new Doosan AD126TI generator engines for Red Funnel Isle of Wight Ferries’ Red Falcon to replace the previous Gardner engines.
In recognition of WaterMota’s efforts, key supplier, Doosan has awarded the company top European dealer, presenting Mr Beacham with the Doosan Appreciation Award for 2013 at the European Marine Dealer Conference held in November last year.
