Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
Falcon Tenders have announced new expansion plans. With a substantial order book stretching into 2023, including the recent signing of two full-custom tender contracts, and enquiries continuing to grow, Falcon are firming up plans to move from their current manufacturing and office complex to a new fully climate-controlled facility in Southampton.
The new facility will benefit from a dedicated oven and spray booth, full overhead electric hoists, and a design and technology centre with dedicated laminating, boatbuilding, engineering and finishing sectors. There will also be a complementary suite of offices and stores. Falcon’s existing facility will be retained for overflow and storage. In addition, their new state-of-the-art tow vehicle, a Dodge 3500 dually, coupled with their new custom-built Harbeck air-braked road trailer, means Falcon can now carry out tailored deliveries and handovers in and around Europe.
Commenting on the company’s expansion, Mark Pascoe, founder of Falcon Tenders, said: ‘We are looking to expand the team right across the board and have a healthy enquiry stream and several projects bubbling away.’
