The French boatbuilder Beneteau has announced that the company and all its UK dealers have decided not to exhibit at the 2012 Tullet Prebon London Boat Show in January, following a review of their exhibition and business strategies.
Francois Renault, Beneteau’s area sales manager for the UK, says: “The UK is a very important market to Beneteau and we feel that we can best serve our customers here by focussing our efforts into the PSP Southampton Boat Show, where we can have boats on the water and show our full range, as well as supporting our dealers in order to stimulate sales through their existing customer pipelines.”
“We had more boats at Southampton this year than ever before and enjoyed a successful show,” he adds. “We will soon be showcasing equally large exhibits at both the Paris and Düsseldorf boat shows where an extensive selection from our range will be on display along with many new models. As always we welcome people to these shows from all over the world including the UK.”
The 2012 Tullet Prebon London Boat Show runs from January 6-15 at London’s ExCel exhibition centre.
