The International Superyacht Society (ISS) is delighted to announce that following a most successful event at METS 2009, the Holland Jachtbouw Refit Centre will again be the ISS Silver Supporter and Presenting Partner for the organisation’s annual METS Membership Mixer. The event draws a wide range of industry colleagues—from company executives to owners and captains and crew—in the festive environment of the RAI’s Café Amsterdam. This year’s Mixer will be held on Tuesday 16 November from 16.30.
“At Holland Jachtbouw we are very aware of the importance of captains, engineers and crew, both to the daily running of a yacht and during a new build or refit,” says Diana de Bruin, Head of Communications. “We also truly appreciate their input and are glad that by sponsoring the ISS occasion at METS, people can share experiences and ask the Holland Jachtbouw Refit Centre team any questions they may have.”
