The Leisure Marine industry is a sector with revenues approaching £3bn in the UK alone and employs over 32,000 people, with the majority being Small and Medium size Enterprises – SMEs (Source: BMF).
The level of business acquisition activity in the sector fell off during the recession following the high profile private equity acquisitions of 2007/8 (e.g. Princess Yachts and Oyster Marine).
There have been some tough times in the Marine sector since then, though there are signs that the market has bottomed out and there seems to be an increasing interest in acquisitions.
If you have a Marine business and would like to explore your options (for sale or acquisition) or simply wish to ensure that you are building business value for a future sale, then please call Peter Watson, our Director of Corporate Finance specialising in marine businesses, on 01638 743 123 or 07810 503 964.
