After several years of running the now successful South Wales Boat Show and their own powerboat and yacht sales company, the pair have confirmed dates and venue for the North Wales Boat Show.

The show will run at the Veynol Estate outside Bangor just off the A55 and will run from Friday July 25 to Sunday July 27, 2008.

The North Wales Boat Show will run on the same blueprint as the South Wales Boat Show, with the ‘Come and Try’ on the lake, a roadshow and plenty of things for the family to do.

‘I realise this seems miles away but the more notice we can give the better for all,’ said Ben Sutcliffe. ‘The website will be launched ready for the Southampton Boat Show, so potential exhibitors can check out the latest details on the website at http://www.southwalesboatshow.co.uk/

We want to make it a success for all in the industry, added Sutcliffe.
