METS 2007

Always our favourite show - everyone’s there, and a lot of business gets done.  Matt arrived a day earlier to attend the distributor conference for Nexus Marine AB - a great opportunity to catch up with their distributors from around the world and get a feel for current conditions in their local markets.  After that it was into the main show, with the usual round of press calls plus gallons of coffee with clients past, present and hopefully future.

Again, generally a good vibe with our counterparties reporting good sales / strong interest in new product lines, and the sheer size of the show demonstrates just how much the leisure marine industry has expanded and matured over the past decade.  Assuming we can weather the problems of sub-prime debt, collapsing banks and a weak dollar, the industry should be in good shape for next year!
