The prestigious Boat Builder Awards for business achievement in association with Raymarine is organised jointly by IBI publisher Boating Communications Ltd and METSTRADE show organiser RAI Amsterdam to recognise and reward the outstanding business achievements of individuals and teams within a number of key areas in the global leisure boat building industry.
The Dometic-sponsored category recognises nominated businesses which are innovators within boat building production and have improved efficiency, cut costs or improved quality.
