This is the second year running that the aquaculture equipment, technology and services supplier has picked up the prestigious prize. Accounts posted for the group revealed a near £7 million rise in turnover for 2017, and around a fourfold increase in pre-tax profits to £1.6 million. In April 2018, Gael Force successfully acquired a 75% majority share in Fusion Marine in Oban, further adding to its breadth of product, geographical reach and highly skilled workforce. Production director, Stephen Offord, who collected the award, commented: PRODUCTS, SERVICES & PEOPLE Safe launch for paddle boats A personal paddle sport launch called YAKport that provides a safe and stable cradle for boarding and unloading a personal vessel, is now being distributed by Connect-A-Dock dealers. The user places the vessel – kayak, paddleboard or canoe up to 34in (86cm) wide – on the launch for stable entry right above the water level. It takes little effort to pull onto the water safely and, once the paddling session is over, the user can pull the vessel back on the launch and enjoy the same stability and convenience when getting out of the water. The YAKport can be connected “To win this award for the second year running is a magnificent achievement and acknowledgement of the enormous progress our business has made in the past two years.
