In the last programme in the Business Matters series for 2024, Chris Ashmore takes a look at a rapidly expanding and highly successful Inishowen based marine engineering company, Seabound Engineering.
The company specialises in the building of aluminium vessels and its order book is full for the next three years. With quite a few projects in the pipeline and new markets clearly identified, these are exciting and positive times for the company and all involved.
Recently it won a major contract to construct an advanced 25 metre mussel harvester for one of the largest mussel farming companies in the UK, beating stiff competition from abroad to land the order. And it continues to diversify and seek new business opportunities.
Although only founded in 2020, it is certainly making a name for itself and earlier this month won the Best Established Business at the Donegal Enterprise Awards. Indeed, it will now go on to represent Donegal in the National Enterprise Final in 2025.
Chris paid a trip to their premises on the pier at Greencastle Harbour to speak with Thomas Havlin Managing Director of Seabound Engineering to find out more about the business.
