Surtees Boats, a leading name in the marine industry, is thrilled to announce an exciting change in its operations. With our lease ending in Tauranga, at the Hewletts Road site, we have decided to relocate our sales yard back to our headquarters in Whakatane. This move aligns with our goal of finding a more suitable location that can cater to a comprehensive Surtees Service Centre & Hub.
Surtees Boats will continue to deliver exceptional customer care and service. Our commitment to our valued clients remains unwavering, and we will ensure that our high standards of quality and service are maintained throughout this transition.
Looking to the future, we are also eagerly planning to establish a comprehensive Surtees Service Centre & Hub in the Tauranga region. This hub will cater to all our customers' needs, including servicing, retrofitting, and more. We are actively seeking the perfect location to create this state-of-the-art facility, which will further enhance our service capabilities and accessibility for our valued clients.
This relocation is part of our ongoing efforts to evolve and thrive in a competitive industry landscape. We are confident that this move will ultimately benefit our customers and position us for continued success.
