Spending over an hour at the site, the Duke was shown the latest life saving equipment and was introduced to staff in the factory and design offices.

The walk about took him through the assembly areas where the SmartFind EPIRBs and the FastFind personal locator beacons are produced and he also received a demonstration of the Man Over Board (MOB) Guardian, a joint initiative with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
