From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated in 2008 following an opportunity opening in the new build workboat sector. Originally the Company operated at a site located at Trafalgar Wharf, Portchester with the capability of one workboat build at a time. Following the successful build of 21 vesseis, all of which were workboats of various sizes, the Company was sold in August 2014.
In 2015 the Company and its sole shareholder was acquired by another company and later moved to a new purpose-built leasehold premise Units 3A and 3B Hythe Marine Park, Shore Road, Hythe, Southampton, Hampshire where three vessels were built resulting in a total of 31 being built since incorporation.
