PRODUCTS, SERVICES & PEOPLE Bobbin Head wins Platinum rating Empire Marina Bobbin Head in New South Wales has become a 5 Gold Anchor Platinum rated marina. It is the first in Australia to be Platinum accredited and is one of only three marinas in the world to have reached this level. The 200-berth marina, located in the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in northern Sydney, is no stranger to awards, having twice won Australian Marina of the Year and, most recently, a local Better Business Award in the commercial and industrial category for its commitment to environmental sustainability. Darren Vaux, director of Empire Marinas, is very pleased with the Platinum result. “This achievement has taken an enormous effort and commitment from the whole marina team in striving for excellence in all areas of our business…and the continuous validation under the Gold Anchor programme will impose the discipline on us to keep us at the top of our game and to strive for constant improvement,” he said. “I would encourage all of my colleagues in the marina industry to challenge themselves in the same way,” he added.
