M2M Fenders Genoa Boat Show

A fleeting visit to the Genoa Boat Show with the kind help of Edward Pedley at MRL . The show is huge. We are talking at least twice the size of Southampton. I walked miles and miles around the show - or should that be kilometres, cuddling a branded boat fender - sad I know.

I met a lot of people from all over Europe in a very short time, including manufacturers, dealers and designers, covering RIBS to superyachts.

I am confident that some of these new contacts will become M2M clients in the near future.

M2M Fenders Southampton Boat Show

Southampton Boat Show was another successful show. We had a number of new customers displaying our boat fenders, including MGM Boats with Aquador and Marco Marine with Dufour.

I am pleased to say we were also supported by Premier Yacht Sales, Cheetah Marine, Pearl Motor Yachts, OnDeck, Cobra RIBS and MRL.

We have also had positive meetings with Mercury UK and Suzuki UK as well as picking up some valuable new contacts for the future.

So all in all a very positive few days, with encouraging signs that people are working hard and doing business, which is great to see in the current market.

Superyacht fender brackets and fender hooks

I am really excited about this new product we have just launched. Handmade from stainless steel and moulded to fit the teak handrail on a superyacht.

These fender brackets and fender hooks are then covered in leather and sheepskin to protect the teak handrail.

The cam cleat and bullseye or line thru make it extremely easy and quick to position the fenders and adjust their height when in place.

We have already had orders in the UK, with additional enquiries from Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

These brackets/hooks really complement our bespoke superyacht hypalon fender and fender cover range.

M2M Fenders update

It's been a while. M2M has had a busy June and July. Seaworks 2009 in June was very positive. We picked up some orders and new customers and hope to export to new countries on the back of it.

July saw us complete a project for a superyacht - including the design and manufacture of a new product (more of that later).

August has seen a visit to Cowes Week with a resupply to OnDeck of OnDeck branded fenders - just in time.

Preparations underway for customers ahead of Southampton Boat Show - including new customers Marco Marine and MGM Boats.

M2M Fenders - the start of our 4th year

Well here we are - the first day in our 4th year. Not a bad day all things considered- five orders, five enquiries, including two from France.

To think it all started with an idea, nine months of research and then a wild leap into the unknown into an industry I had never worked in, had no contacts and knew no one - how exciting.

There is a saying in business - "you have to kiss a lot of frogs" - and boy oh boy have I kissed a lot of frogs:) But I wouldn't have missed it for the world. In the last three years I have met an extraordinary number of people. I have made a whole lot of new friends and had the pleasure of working with some wonderfully positive, kind and supportive human beings.

The first year was a nightmare - including a drive to Split in Croatia and back on a weekend. But what a huge learning curve and what a great foundation of knew knowledge and contacts to work from. 

The second year saw our first corporate customers and this last year has seen us consolidate and expand our corporate customer base, while developing our retail customers through our online store - www.m2mfenders.eu 

From that very basic idea, we have sold products throughout the UK, to Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey and the USA. This week we are sending our first shipment to Singapore.

We have exhibited at boat shows in the UK, the Netherlands and Dubai. 

So what does year 4 hold for M2M Fenders? We are expanding our corporate client base and hope to announce a couple of deals with "household names" in the marine industry within the next few weeks. 

We are working hard to develop customers in the UAE and have plans to increase the range of products available through our online store. We have managed to make some inroads into the highly competitive Superyacht Market and are confident that this will continue to develop over the forthcoming year.

Is our 4th year going to be difficult given the current economic climate - yes it is. 

Is it going to be hard work - yep - but only a lot.

Am I feeling positive and excited by it all - you bet I am. I can't wait.

M2M Fenders Hamble Point Marina New & used boat show

 Gas Check Marine

A trifle windy and a tad damp - but the sun shone. The coffee and butties in the Ketch Rigger were first class as usual and all in all a good time was had.

Visitor numbers weren't large but those that were there were serious about buying boats and those that made the effort to talk to visitors were very positive.

 Dufour 34  Hanse 540

From a personal point of view it was very worthwhile and I am glad I made the effort. It was good to meet up with existing personal clients with yachts moored at the marina, as well as my commercial clients based at Hamble Point.

I also managed to meet a number of potential new clients and I look forward to supplying them with branded boat fenders and fender covers in the near future and expanding my client base at Hamble Point Marina.
