With enquiry levels already ahead of expectations, the creation of the new business is giving cause for added optimism at the end of a challenging year for founder Ruari McLachlan who also heads inshore workboat operator McLachlan Marine from the same site.
Ruari said: “Through sister company McLachlan Marine, we already have a lot of experience in selling boat trailers across many years so this was a natural progression for our business and an important diversification at the end of a turbulent year.
“Our existing headquarters at the old airfield at Fordoun give us an abundance of space from which to operate.”
