Doors open at 8:15 AM for registered attendees with a METSTRADE badge, and access should be made through entrance C. To register please email mets@britishmarine.co.uk.Women in the Marine Industry International is a free event, and all genders are welcome to attend.

This year, marking its 35th anniversary, METSTRADE trade show brings thousands of visitors right into the heart of the leisure marine industry with around 1,300 exhibitors.

“The significance of METSTRADE for our members with a global focus cannot be under-estimated. For budding exporters, it represents a natural starting point, with the British Pavilion historically being a gateway into foreign markets for numerous businesses. For seasoned exporters, it remains crucial, offering an annual opportunity to strengthen relationships and expand distribution networks. We look forward to connecting with many of our members and their trade partners at the event,” Lesley concluded.
