Narrow Boat Builders, Fitters, Engine Installation, UK

We are a small company run by me, John, my wife Pauline, and Des who works along side me fitting out, and Winifred who helps at the shows and with soft furnishings.
I started Northern Marine Services in 1990 and worked fitting out boats on a sub-contract basis for some time for a number of builders.

In 2000 I finally took the bit between my teeth and with the help of a substantial loan from the bank and the selling of our own boat, I then designed and built a 50ft narrow boat which I named “Mystery” and took it to the IWA national festival in Milton Keynes to show.

The boat sold soon after the show but I could have sold it three times over. Since then the business has gone from strength to strength, mainly on recommendations from delighted customers. (Letters of commendation from these customers are available).

At the time of writing this, February 2005, I am in the process of building boat number 16, which is called “Life, the Universe and Everything”, a challenge for the sign-writer if ever I saw one. This boat will be shown at Crick 2005 where we have been showing boats since 2002.

We take great pride in our work which we enjoy. There is great satisfaction in producing a boat which we have designed with the customer and brought through to completion.
We build normally four boats in a year which allows us sufficient time to give each order our best attention. Also to build more would involve more staff and I would spend all my time as manager. I much prefer to be doing the job I love which is actually building the boat.
