P&B have been a familiar name in the marine world for over 30 years, leading the way in sail-making and selling dinghy clothing, chandlery, spars and rigging, boats and dinghy covers to cater for water-sports enthusiasts across the globe. The team at P&B are also experts in GRP, wood and carbon dinghy and mast repairs.
At the front of fleets worldwide with their championship winning sails, they are looking to build on their position to cement P&B as the leading retailer in the marine industry.
To achieve further growth and keep the best possible service, the business has been purchased by Rhys Rollitt and Steve Badham from founder Ian Pinnell.
"I am so excited to be leading this business into a new period of growth. Everything you love about P&B, the knowledgeable staff, the swift service, and the winning sails, stays, but we can add more investment into stock, the website, and new outlets to develop an even more comprehensive range to satisfy our customers," said Rhys Rollitt, Owner, P&B.
Ian Pinnell remains as a consultant for the next two years; look out for him on the sailing circuit. And all the staff remain in their roles.
"It is great to be leading P&B in this new phase, we are really looking forward to being able to support Dave Wade and the team here to develop P&B even further," said Steve Badham, Owner, P&B.
Rhys and Steve are set to open a P&B shop in the southwest, with plans for more P&B outlets in the future. Exciting times for retail in the marine industry.
