SUNSEEKER International says it should be in a “market-leading position” when the pandemic ends after pushing ahead with production of new models.
In its annual report, the luxury boat builder said its Chinese owner was backing the business’s plans for “significant growth”.
The major Poole employer – which announced 460 redundancies last year – has five models launching in the first quarter of this year, with more set for 2022.
Production of Sunseeker boats was “substantially shut down” for three months from the end of March last year, the company’s annual report has said.
Chief executive Andrea Frabetti wrote: “Only minimal production work was possible in this period, limited to the completion of those boats that were close to dispatch at the point when the UK lockdown commenced.”
