We consider it incredibly important to invest in our team, and over the last couple of years we have reinvested in both our team and the business to create the best working environment possible."

This year marks the 50th anniversary of TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show, and to celebrate British Marine held a Gala Awards Dinner to recognise key businesses within the marine industry and to celebrate their successes. Many businesses were nominated by their peers and by employees with the awards being presented by Greg Munford, President of British Marine.

Marine Resources are an excellent example of this and a well deserving runner up. They recognise and reward their staff through innovative and creative ways and have a holistic approach to personal development and work life balance."

Over the past two years a significant amount of time and resources has been invested in the company and team members, with a new break out area, outstanding reward and recognition schemes, and a focus on providing several platforms for feedback from the team. Each person is encouraged and empowered to progress and drive their career towards their goal.

James Ward added: "We are honoured to receive this award from British Marine and we are so pleased to be recognised alongside some fantastic marine companies, including Superyacht Tenders & Toys, for winning Best Company in our category. We have some very exciting plans in place over the next few months and I am looking forward to seeing how the company grows over the next year as we strive to make this the best company to work for, giving fantastic career opportunities."
