About us:
Falmouth Boat Co. is the service brand of Falmouth Boat Construction ltd. We are a privately owned small boatyard based on the South Coast of the South West of the UK in Flushing, Falmouth in Cornwall.
With a turnover slightly in excess of £1.5m and a staff base of 30, our primary activities are based around the service and repair of all water borne craft up to 100ft and 100 tonnes. Our most regular market is 30-50ft yachts and leisure craft for refit and repair, complemented with commercial craft servicing up to 60ft.
Our leisure clients range from a spectrum of self-employed tradesmen and wealthy professionals to retired locals.
Our commercial clients are primarily local and range from harbour authorities to towage companies. We are very proud to be one of the few repair yards in the country appointed to undertake repair work on RNLI craft.
We have limited facilities afloat so all our clients choose to come to us rather than feeling obliged through a mooring lay-up arrangement.
We also undertake a large amount of insurance repair work. This is more often than not the first time that new clients meet us and post repairs, hopefully to return in the future. This is the biggest growth area of our customer base.
The majority of our activities are based in Falmouth, and on our own site, however, we are developing an offsite and international support team with several of our clients in Europe. Our USP in such matters is the fact that UK clients take comfort in dealing with a UK company under UK law on their craft wherever it may be. This is a growing area of our business.
In July 2013, the company changed hands to the current ownership. Having historically suffered from a significant lack of investment and poor profitability, this situation has step changed since, but on the back of the business recovery.
We are in the position of being able to grow into the next stage of the company’s development. If you would like to apply for this role please complete the form to the right or download the application form below, complete and return to enquiries@falmouthboat.co.uk.
Please note that we wish to recruit as soon as possible so the closing date is notional.
