Marina Supplier Directory launched to industry

In support of its core marina and boatyard members, the Marina Industries Association (MIA) has launched its latest industry initiative, the Marina Supplier Directory www.marinasupplierdirectory.org.

The online searchable guide enables marina operators to search by supplier name, business category and product lines. It will make it easier for marina managers to locate a broad range of products, suppliers and service providers, ensuring the industry has the widest choice of products and services available at the click of a mouse.

Having reviewed the Directory, David Osmond CMM, Marina Superintendent, Gladstone Marina commented, “It’s great to see such useful and supportive initiatives from the MIA. This will not only save time in sourcing products and services but ensures that we, as marina managers, are aware of our options and all suppliers available on the market. It’s going to be a very useful resource.”

The Directory is a great tool for suppliers to industry to market their businesses and products directly to marinas and boatyards. MIA CEO Suzanne Davies commented, “All MIA supplier members are entitled to list their businesses and products free of charge. Non-member suppliers to industry are also welcome to list by purchasing an annual listing. Businesses can advertise specials and provide MIA members with exclusive offers.”

This intuitive searchable online directory also includes a ‘Marketplace’ – like Gumtree or Facebook marketplace – that enables marinas to advertise any second-hand equipment that may be useful to another facility. This service is free and exclusive to MIA members.

The Marina Supplier Directory is a free resource for all in the marina industry to use.
