Ribquest Appoints Training School and Boat Demonstration Facility

Following a successful debut appearance at Southampton Boat Show, Ribquest has netted substantial new orders at this year’s Show. As part of its continuing expansion drive, the company has also established new UK and overseas dealer networks and appointed an approved training school. Ribquest has chosen Rival Sea School in Dartford, Kent, as its appointed training school who will also be providing a boat demonstration facility.

“We showcased several new off-the-shelf, fully-equipped boats tailored and had a really successful show. The latest orders strengthen our fast-emerging presence in the RIB market sector and we are primed for further growth,” reports Ribquest’s sales manager Julian Goodhead.

Ribquest, which designs, manufactures and sells rigid inflatable boats, introduced new product ranges at the Southampton Boat Show,
targeted specifically for users in the leisure and professional sports sectors. Based in Denton, Manchester, Ribquest was launched two years ago and offers RIBs in various lengths, tailored to customer requirements. All boats are produced on-site in Manchester.

Julian adds: “Our boats have a reputation for quality and have sold on price. We are now actively seeking to maximise the future potential and development of the business and have already established successful dealer networks in the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and New Zealand. We are currently talking to other dealers throughout the UK and Europe and would welcome any enquiries from potential new partners.”

Ribquest will also be making a presence at the London Boat Show in January, 2006.

The best DIVE ever!

It is the first year we have exhibited at DIVE and what a fantastic success it was for us.

Our 6.3m diving RIB generated a lot of interest (our stand was 4 people deep at some points) and we would like to thank everyone who came to visit us. We found the atmosphere at the show very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves talking to both new potential customers and meeting up with some old faces.

We had one unusual visitor to our stand when the BBC’s Really Wild Show brought an Anaconda snake to see our RIB. The footage from the day’s filming will be shown when the Really Wild Show is broadcast next spring.

We would also like to thank other exhibitors who supplied us with diving equipment during the show, which put the finishing touches to the display of our RIB.

For those of you going to the London Boat Show we will be there located at the South Hall on stand number S2834 and would be delighted to chat with you again. In the meantime, if you would like any information or advice on any of our products, please do not hesitate to call us.

Ribquest Rave about RIBEX 2004

It is the first year Ribquest have exhibited at Ribex and what a fantastic success it was for us. We unveiled our new range of RIBs at Ribex, which were all enthusiastically received by the visitors to the stand. We received many enquiries from both National and International visitors and orders were taken at an unexpected high level.

There was great interest in the sea trials that took place at the marina, with over 25 demonstrations taking place a day. Many visitors were unable to have a demonstration due to demand, however, they were able to register and arranged to attend other Ribquest demonstrations nationwide later on in the year. If you still require a demonstration please contact us by phone or e-mail at your convenience.

Ribex 2004 meant that we could build our brand awareness and start to establish ourselves in the market place against our competitors. The success from Ribex is a strong indicator of Ribquest’s growth and future potential within the RIB market as we move towards the middle of our first and extremely successful season.

Once the demonstration days have been organised, we will put the dates and venue details on the website. In the meantime, if you would like any information or advice on any of our products, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our sales team or e-mail sales@ribquest.com or click on the contact button.
