SUNSEEKER RECOGNISED AS SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT OF CIVILISATION
Sunseeker International, the world's largest privately owned yacht builder, has been credited within a recent article in The Times newspaper as the manufacturer of a product 'of importance in civilisation'.
The article by Stephen Bayley, titled 'Britain should be a workshop, not a casino' and published on 11th January, suggested that since 1980 just three British companies, one of which is Sunseeker, could be considered suitable for such an accolade. He endorses the entrepreneurial spirit of the UK manufacturing industry and recognises the process of "making real products" is "far superior" to business, which sets out to maximise financial return without designing or building anything.
Sunseeker International is this year celebrating the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of Friars Cliff Marine Limited, the company from which Sunseeker International was developed from a dinghy and outboard sales company, to one of the world's leading luxury motoryacht brands. In a difficult market Sunseeker has maintained its status as the UK's largest production boat builder and last year reported a turnover of £310 million.
