Good start to 2012

A big ‘thank you’ to all Salty John customers for providing such an excellent start to the 2012 campaign. This in spite of the fact that the London International Boat Show is currently in full swing.

The first week of the year brought a number of Loos tension gauge sales, mainly from Europe, Metz antennas have been flying off the shelves and sales are buoyant across a broad selection of our products including the Motor Lift, davit slings, the Hot Knife, mooring hooks and our new 100% wool watch cap.

It used to be that the London Boat Show sucked away spending in the period up to the opening of the show, presumably in anticipation of Boat Show Specials. This year we haven’t seen this effect – it seems people no longer believe they are going to get those bargains and go ahead and buy on the internet as usual.

I’m also pleased to see that trade sales of the Metz antenna have started brightly with good orders from UK and Spain.

Keep up the good work!
