Following a successful debut appearance at Southampton Boat Show, Ribquest has netted substantial new orders at this year’s Show. As part of its continuing expansion drive, the company has also established new UK and overseas dealer networks and appointed an approved training school. Ribquest has chosen Rival Sea School in Dartford, Kent, as its appointed training school who will also be providing a boat demonstration facility.

“We showcased several new off-the-shelf, fully-equipped boats tailored and had a really successful show. The latest orders strengthen our fast-emerging presence in the RIB market sector and we are primed for further growth,” reports Ribquest’s sales manager Julian Goodhead.

Ribquest, which designs, manufactures and sells rigid inflatable boats, introduced new product ranges at the Southampton Boat Show,

targeted specifically for users in the leisure and professional sports sectors. Based in Denton, Manchester, Ribquest was launched two years ago and offers RIBs in various lengths, tailored to customer requirements. All boats are produced on-site in Manchester.

Julian adds: “Our boats have a reputation for quality and have sold on price. We are now actively seeking to maximise the future potential and development of the business and have already established successful dealer networks in the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and New Zealand. We are currently talking to other dealers throughout the UK and Europe and would welcome any enquiries from potential new partners.”

Ribquest will also be making a presence at the London Boat Show in January, 2006. Julian Goodhead can be contacted on 0161 304 5123.
