Summer 2011

We started promoting the fuel-efficient rigid inflatable boat at the Seawork 2011 trade show in June. There was a lot of interest in our design of marine console and the ecoXR24 boat. Several companies were also interested in our design services, particularly for lightweight design. Seawork proved to be a great opportunity to renew old acquaintances and meet new people.

An article about our lightweight RIB design appeared in the Maritime Journal.

Winter 2010

Coupland Bell became acredited with the Manufacturing Advisory Service in both the West Midlands and East Midlands. Eligible companies in the region receive grant support for our range of services.

The Princess Royal attended the Schroeders London Boat Show to see the short-listed entries for the Concept Boat competition. There was significant interest in the competition entries from all over the world.

The competition judges described the Amphibious RIB as "an interesting combination of different technologies to provide a high tech amphibious craft."
