Liverpool Boat Show update
By IBI Magazine
National Boat Shows (NBS), a subsidiary of the British Marine Federation (BMF), has announced that plans for a new Liverpool Boat Show in 2008 have been put on hold following the unavailability of a suitable site. NBS, which also organises both the London and Southampton shows, says that it will continue to research the Liverpool project.
"We are still very interested in bringing a world-class boat show to Liverpool. However, to make it the best-possible show we are unfortunately unable to launch next year," says James Gower, NBS director of marketing.
"We are currently researching various location options for the future," he adds. "We've been delighted with the warm response we've received from the City and official bodies, and look forward to working with them again soon. By allowing more time we hope to create a fantastic show for Liverpool and the wider region."
This year's Southampton International Boat Show will run from September 14-23, followed by the London International Boat Show at the ExCel Exhibition Centre in January 2008.
