Pendennis and Devonport continue to thrive with an increasing number of enquiries for refits at the joint facilities in Falmouth. Pendennis boasts 20+ years experience and over 150 refit projects in the portfolio, and along with Devonport’s expertise in the 60m+ market, the companies have joined forces to expand the offering at Pendennis’ base in the UK. As such they are co-exhibiting at the 2011 Antibes Yacht Show that runs from the 7th-10th April, during which a dedicated team will be on hand to discuss all refit needs.
Following on from Devonport’s partnership with Pendennis Shipyard in early 2010 the company’s identity has continued to develop. With a reputation as leaders in complex engineering solutions and technologically advanced yachts the Devonport brand has aligned itself with the digital age. Alongside the redevelopment of the website, a new e- newsletter has been launched and even the business cards are going digital!
