INDUSTRY DATABASE<\/p>\n
DAVEY & CO LONDON LTD<\/p>\n
Heritage boat-fittings manufacturer Davey & Company London, has been acquired by John Buckley, owner of Harbour Marine Services.<\/p>\n
The acquisition seals a long-standing connection between the two companies – Harbour Marine specialises in classic boat restoration including several Little Dunkirk Ships on which Davey\u2019s traditionally-manufactured bronze fittings have been used.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have great respect for Davey & Co\u2019s British made ethos and high-quality product,\u201d says John. \u201cMy intention is to protect that and create many more opportunities for Davey to be known as the \u2018must-have\u2019 quality fitting for traditional boat owners internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
Davey and Co, established in 1885, is a leading British manufacturer of traditional boat fittings to boat-owners worldwide and still uses many of the patterns and designs that were used in Victorian times.<\/p>\n
Traditional style<\/p>\n
This results in authentic, high quality and covetable fittings that are perfect for classic boats and also bring a traditional style to more modern vessels.<\/p>\n
Davey\u2019s MD of 25 years, Peter Tracey, will be stepping down in the early autumn with Jeff Webber taking over the role. The business will continue to operate from its Colchester base whilst continuing to employ all existing staff.<\/p>\n
Jeff has more than 20 years\u2019 experience of the marine industry and has been brought in to deliver John\u2019s vision for the business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a great opportunity and I look forward to taking up the reins from where Peter left off. Both John and I agree that British made philosophy of Davey & Co and quality products must be preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
