The National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations (NFFO) is to sponsor Skipper Expo Int. Bournemouth 2014 in a move that confirms the exhibition’s position as a hugely popular fisheries showcase for the English and Welsh fishing industries
The official support from the NFFO will help ensure show
organiser Mara Media provides an all-encompassing fisheries show representing
the full diversity of the catching sector.
Sharon Boyle of Mara Media said: “We are thrilled that the
National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations has agreed to sponsor this
year’s expo in Bournemouth, which underlines the success of our inaugural show
in Bristol, which received widespread industry support.”
Barrie Deas, chief executive of the NFFO, said: “We are
delighted to confirm our support for Skipper Expo Int. Bournemouth 2014.
The English and Welsh industries are incredibly diverse, representing a wide
variety of different fisheries and boat classes, and we believe it is important
that there is an event where fishermen can meet and see all the latest
equipment and services on offer.”
There has been strong interest in the expo so far with a
good number of first-time exhibitors having already signed-up. Mara Media is
also anticipating a late surge in additional stand bookings over the coming
weeks.
Skipper Expo Int. Bournemouth will be held on 10 and 11
October 2014 at the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC). More information at
