Here we are at the end of another season which seems to have passed in a flash, no time at all since we were preparing the fleet for Easter.
It’s been a busy season, with four new Elite boats being added to the fleet, 2 of the 28’6 Brinks Encores and 2 of the 39′ Brinks Serenades and of course the 9 additional boats we bought from Royalls boatyard. In September we added 3 new self catering properties ‘The River Views‘, which are situated in our marina opposite the boatyard and ideal if you want a really quiet holiday.
In the Spring we bought neighbouring ‘Riverside Marina’ which was looking very run down and neglected. During the summer we have invested considerable time and money installing new quay heading and pontoons, water, electricity and additional car parking. Improving the marina will provide extra space for our growing fleet and provide
some much needed additional moorings for private boats too.
If you would like information on our private moorings in Wroxham, please contact Kerry who will be happy to help.
In September we said ‘goodbye’ to Margaret our Office Manager who had worked in the office for many years, she has now retired and is looking forward to spending time in her caravan on the coast – we all wish her a Happy Retirement.
Sheila Scott who was our Senior Administrator has now taken the position on Office Manager, working with Karen who many of you will already know and our new bookings assistant Donna.
We are also joined by Sara who has taken on the role of Customer Services Manager. Sara has a wealth of experience in the hire boat industry previously working at Blakes Boating. Sara takes a keen interest in customers holiday experiences &
is your point of contact if you have any suggestions on how we can improve your Norfolk Broads holiday.
