Palmer Johnson opens Construction Facility in the UK
By Timmy | April 14, 2008
American Yacht manufacturer Palmer Johnson has decided to open a construction facility in the UK, bringing well over 500 jobs to the area. With their plans to build a a 20,000 square metre facility that will have the capacity to build vessels up to 100m long, Palmer Johnson is showing their belief in the future of luxury boating.
The first yachts should be sailing out of the UK facility somewhere in 2011 .
A Palmer spokesman said: “For a period of time, Palmer Johnson will be operating a twin location facility. Once the new factory is fully operational in Woolston the existing facility in Hythe could be used to increase production, or to manufacture new ranges. All options will be continually reviewed, in a fast evolving market.”
(this one’s a work in progress, I promise! ;))
