Managing director Mike Cook was on hand at the recent dealer meeting held in Nantes to receive the trophy from Madam Roux, president of Beneteau, Jeanneau's parent company.

"We were up against stiff competition from many of the other European dealers, " said Cook. "We have enthusiastic and very hard working teams around the UK and have always specialised in helping first time buyers and James Powell, the company's sales manager, has worked especially hard over the past year."
