UK RIB manufacturer Humber RIBs have reported another record 12 months of sales. In addition, Humber RIBs MD Andrew Roffee told PBR: ‘Over the last three years or so we have been investing even further in the development and expansion of our production plant and workshop facilities here in Hull. In line with this, we’ve also secured even more skilled staff in the key elements of our family-run business. In fact, I’m satisfied that we have the best team we’ve ever had in all our 57-year history. I feel very proud of our staff for what they’ve achieved and the great standard of work they’re producing.’
While Humber are known internationally for their custom-built commercial craft, the company was also responsible for producing the Humber Attack, regarded by many as one of the best leisure RIB hulls ever built.
‘With such high demand from the leisure market for proper seagoing, sea-kindly offshore-orientated RIBs, we’re determined to significantly raise our profile in the leisure sector, as we have both the experience and the modern capability to produce what we believe leisure RIB buyers today are seeking,’ said an enthusiastic Roffee. ‘We can not only offer clients an unrivalled custom shop service, but also very competitive lead times too.’
