Big Boy’s Toys 25 December 2021 The Norman Timbs Special

The Norman Timbs Special is a homebuilt Sport Custom built by Norman Timbs over a span of three years. Norman's streamlined custom was supposed to be a prototype for a limited series of cars reflecting advanced concepts in performance and aesthetics. Being an automotive engineer working with Preston Tucker on his Tucker Automobiles and on several Indy cars, Norman made comprehensive chassis drawings that led to 1/4 scale clay models of several body ideas. The models led to a wooden model incorporating the favored elements. Norman handmade an aluminum body for the car by forming panels on the wooden pattern. The panels were then welded together. The chassis was made of welded aircraft tubing. The car was 17 1/2 feet long with a 117 inch wheelbase, 56-inch thread, and a weight of 2 500 pounds. It was powered by a 1948 Buick Straight 8 engine located just behind the driver's seat. Steering, brakes and other equipment were standard Mercury. The rear body on the car was hinged to raise hydraulically for access to the engine compartment, fuel tank and spare tire. The fuel tank was placed between the wheels. The front hood covered a luggage compartment. In the rear, taillights from a 1939 Ford were installed. Without the windshield the car stood 39 inches tall. Total height with the windshield was 47 inches Total cost of the build was $10,000 according to Mechanix Illustrated September 1949. Once completed, Norman's Buick Special was featured on the cover of Motor Trend October 1949, the second issue of Motor Trend.

In 1954 the Norman's Buick Special was featured in Motor Life February 1954. By then the car had been painted white. it was currently owned by Air Force Officer Jim Davis of Manhattan Beach, California. The article stated that the car was the brain-child of former aircraft manufacturer Larry Timm. According to the story Larry designed and built the car over a three year period ending in 1948. Davis bought the car in 1952 and was, according to the story, the first person to have the car registered for road use. Norman's Buick Special was featured in an episode of Buck Rogers.

For several years the car was parked away in the hot California desert. In 2000 it was featured briefly in the Nicholas Cage movie Gone in 60 Seconds. 2 years later, In 2002 it was auctioned away by Barret Jackson at the Petersen Museum Classic Car Auction. The sales price was $17,600.00 USD. Collector Gary Cerveny was the lucky bidder. Gary began to restore the car himself, before he decided to hand it over to Custom Auto of Loveland, Colorado, and let them complete it. Before Gary handed the car over to Custom Auto he repaired the wheel wells, grille opening and drive train. The car was about 90% original when Gary acquired the car. The body halves had been bolted together, and access holes had been cut in for the rear wheels and the engine bay. In March of 2012 the restored version of the car made its debut at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in Florida. At the show it won "The RM Auctions Trophy For the Best Open Car". Later on in 2010 Norman Timbs' Buick Special was hand picked to be part of the prestigious Customs Then and Now exhibit at the 2011 Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California, an elite gathering of the most historically significant customs in the world. In August of 2012 the car will also be competing in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the world's premier celebration of the automobile. In 1997 the Pebble Beach Hot Rod Class was started. The Hot Rod Class has been featuring roadsters, coupes and pre-war customs in the past. The 2012 Hot Rod Class will be dedicated to Sport Customs and one offs such as the Arthur Bentas' Raven, the 1950 Saturn, the 1947 Kurtis Omohundro, the Maverick sportster, the Coachcraft Special and Vince Gardner's 1947 Studebaker.

Candid Conversation: The Vector Saga

At long last, here we are. The last post of what I have termed the Vector Saga. This was the post I wanted to do for a while, but couldn’t as I didn’t have the WX-3; well folks, it’s finally time. So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, a drink or maybe a monaka, as I tell you the story of Vector Motors. This is... the Vector Saga.

Early Days

Vector Motors is an American car company founded by Gerald “Jerry” Wiegert, based in Wilmington, California. The company was known to manufacture supercars and the like.

The company’s roots can be traced back to 1972, when Wiegert teamed up with renowned automotive designer Lee Brown to create a company known as Vehicle Design Force, which would manufacture a vehicle known as The Vector.

Literature at the time stated that The Vector would be available with a DOHC Porsche engine (among various other engine options) and a pricetag of $10,000. The first prototype (shown above) was showcased in 1972, however, this version of the car was non-functional.

Birth of the W2

Wiegert then went back to the drawing board to design a further few iterations of The Vector, resulting in the W2. The W2 took its name from the founder of Vehicle Design Force, Jerry Wiegert, as well as the number of turbochargers intended to be in the car. The W2 was first showcased at the 1976 Los Angeles Auto Show as a non-running prototype; Wiegert attempted to market the car to potentially put it into production, but these never came to be due to insufficient backing and the financial downturn. As such, Wiegert opted to continue refining the car. Perhaps rather appropriately, Vehicle Design Force was renamed in 1977 to become Vector Aeromotive Corporation.

Numerous other prototypes followed, and the first functioning version of the W2 appeared in 1978. Powered by a 5.7L Chevrolet small block V8 with twin turbochargers, the W2 was claimed to be able to hit 230 mph (370 km/h). Over time, the car went through numerous running tests and was displayed at various auto shows worldwide, usually with color scheme changes and other detail improvements. The car managed to reach a top speed of 242 mph (389 km/h) on the Bonneville Salt Flats.

As time went on, Wiegert continued to push for the W2 to enter production, attempting to generate enough capital for that end. He ultimately generated enough capital in 1989, with the final version of the W2 entering production as the W8. The W2 is still owned by Wiegert but has since been dismantled.

Wiegert’s Big Break

Designed by Wiegert and head of engineering David Kostka, the W8 helped Wiegert to realize his dream: to build his own supercar. His company quickly grew, from a single building and four employees to four buildings and eighty employees. With a design inspired by that of the Alfa Romeo Carabo, the W8s were assembled in Vector’s Wilmington, California plant. Powered by a 6.0L twin-turbocharged Rodeck V8, the W8 was claimed to be able to reach a top speed of 242 mph (389 km/h). The full specifications of the W8s are detailed in an earlier post you can access by clicking here.

As Vector was designing their W8, Wiegert was already planning for a successor, which would be known as the AWX-3 (Avtech Wiegert Experimental Model 3), better known as the WX-3. The WX-3 was first showcased at the 1992 Geneva Motor Show as a non-running prototype design study, but gained a Rodeck V8 engine and a roadster counterpart, the WX-3R, for 1993, along with a repaint to advertise Aquajet, Wiegert’s other company, specializing in personal watercraft. I have similarly detailed the specifics of the WX-3 in an earlier post you can access by clicking here.

Here Comes A New Challenger

By 1993, Vector Aeromotive was running dry on funds and were unlikely to have the capacity to continue on manufacturing automobiles; production of the W8 had also stopped after only twenty-two cars were built. At this point however, a rather unknown company had risen from the ashes and offered to invest in Vector. That company was Megatech.

Megatech was an Indonesian company with ties to Bermuda, a tax haven. The company was owned jointly by Hutomo Mandala Putra, better known as Tommy Suharto, convicted felon and son of Indonesian dictator Suharto, and businessman Setiawan Djody; those were about as shady of credentials as you could possibly get. The company was a subsidiary of MyCom Setco, a Bermudan subsidiary of Malaysian company MyCom Sdn Bhd.

With Wiegert knowing that he’d require some amount of investment or capital in order to manufacture the WX-3, he accepted while he was at the Geneva Motor Show that year. Little did he know that this was one of the worst decisions he’d ever make.

Shock, Horror, a Hostile Takeover

With investment now secure, Wiegert could freely produce the WX-3... or so he thought. Because behind the scenes, Tommy Suharto was working behind the scenes to enact a hostile takeover of Vector. Wiegert then received a call to an urgent meeting at the Geneva Motor Show, and flew back to California, and it was here that he knew he screwed up big time with his recent investment.

At this meeting, Vector’s board of directors, under clear influence from Megatech’s bosses, requested Wiegert to resign from his role as owner and take up a role as a designer for the company. Wiegert vehemently refused and went into a meltdown, firing all his employees, hiring armed guards and changing all the locks at the Vector offices. It was this that ultimately led Wiegert to be fired from his own company, and he was subsequently accused of mismanaging company funds.

Megatech’s Early Days

With Wiegert out of the company, Megatech now had free rein to do whatever they wanted... or so they thought. Megatech had intended to produce the WX-3 now with Wiegert’s absence, but could not do so as Wiegert had continuously filed lawsuits against the company regarding them producing the car and protected the design of the WX-3 with patents (and by extension, the W8). As such, Vector had no car to produce, nor did they have a designer to design one for them (they had fired Wiegert whom they had originally intended to be the designer).

Around this time however, Megatech acquired Lamborghini from Chrysler Corporation on 31 January 1994 for $40 million. As such, Megatech relocated Vector’s offices from Wilmington, California to Green Cove Springs, Florida, allowing Vector and Lamborghini to share office spaces in the US. With Megatech having acquired Lamborghini, the company decided to merge both Lamborghini and Vector traits into one car. In order to continue the Vector lineage, Vector hired Peter Stevens, one of the engineers on the McLaren F1 project, to design their new car.

The Unholy Hellspawn

That car was the M12. The M12 combined traits of the stillborn WX-3 and the Lamborghini Diablo into one package, with the overall exterior design by Stevens being essentially a loose copy of that of the WX-3’s design (as the design of the WX-3 was protected by patents). The M12 also used the same 5.7L V12 as the Diablos of the time as the Rodeck V8s used by the W8 and WX-3 were somehow too expensive for them to afford. The first M12 produced was also painted in a patriotic red, white and blue color scheme with the American flag and other patriotic symbols all around.

The M12 was ultimately released in 1995, priced at $189,000; apparently the folks at Megatech thought that a $50,000 premium over the Diablo was enough to salvage the company’s investment. Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t.

The M12 received scathing reviews from those who could get their hands on one, with noted automotive journalist Jeremy Clarkson writing that the quality control of the M12 was “on par with that of a Bulgarian power station”, with doors which didn’t fit properly, a reeking gasoline smell, a “bonkers” seating position and air-conditioning vents which couldn’t be properly pushed into the car. Autoweek magazine went even further, giving the M12 the unenviable award of the worst car they had ever tested.

The devastating exposure of the inefficiencies of the M12 made Megatech jittery, and it was time for their next course of action. In an attempt to shut critics up, Vector’s management elected to venture into the world of motorsport, with the logic that if Vector could score wins in motorsport, the company could be elevated within striking distance of the top high-end car manufacturers at the time, such as Ferrari, with Vectors finally getting the respect they deserved. The category Vector decided to dip their toes into was the IMSA GT Series, in its current form now known as the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. To do this, Megatech called for the assistance of the now defunct IMSA GT team American Spirit Racing, who modified a pre-production M12 chassis into a race car.

The Vector Goes Racing

That car was appropriately named the Vector M12 ASR GT2, run by American Spirit Racing. The car was fitted with race-specification suspension, brakes, weight reduction and a larger rear spoiler and front airdam. Little modification to the 5.7L V12 was required as the power produced by the engine was within regulations. With close to no prior testing, the M12 ASR GT2 was soon shipped off to the first round of the 1998 IMSA GT series: the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Sebring was a circuit noted to be able to shake cars apart due to its bumpy surfaces, and deciding to debut the car at this circuit was likely something Megatech didn’t think thoroughly through. With Bill Eagle and Dorsey Schroeder at the wheel of the M12, ASR attempted to qualify against competition such as the Porsche 911 GT2, Saleen Mustang GT2 and Honda (or Acura in this case) NSX GT2s; the M12 ultimately qualified a lowly 33rd out of 48 cars. On the day of the race however, Sebring lived up to its name, shaking the M12 apart and out of the race after just 16 laps; the car’s listed classification is 44th.

The M12 would then move to Las Vegas for the second round of the IMSA GT championship, where it also fared poorly; the car qualified second to last, and in the race, the car’s engine overheated and gave out after a mere 2 laps. The car’s final classification was 21st. With two retirements in two races, ASR did not turn up for the third round at Lime Rock and instead focused on the fourth round of the championship at Road Atlanta.

With two new drivers and a new team, the M12 was entered into Road Atlanta by a Jon Lewis and driven by Kevin Allen and Randy Pobst. As usual, the car qualified poorly, qualifying second to last again, and performed even worse during the race, with a gearbox failure retiring the car on lap 43.

From Bad To Worse

With a financial crisis brewing in Indonesia, Megatech’s funds had been reduced significantly, with little money left to do anything for that matter; they needed funds, and fast. To that end, Megatech canceled the GT2 project after just three rounds, and as such, Vector exited the motorsport realm, having made no significant impact to their sales. In addition, Megatech sold Lamborghini to Audi AG in September 1998 for $110 million, ending any hopes for Megatech to dominate the supercar realm. Lamborghini remains with Audi until this day. What Megatech failed to realize though is that this decision would come and bite them in the back. Hard.

Somehow, Megatech managed to conveniently forget that the only car they manufactured, the M12, used a Lamborghini 5.7L V12 engine. With Vector now considered a rival company to Lamborghini, Lamborghini begins to charge Vector for the engines.

In addition to Tommy Suharto having embezzled large swathes of money from the company presumably for his own personal gain, the engine charges that Lamborghini was requesting dealt a crippling blow to Megatech; it got so bad that Megatech was unable to even pay for the engines due to the above factors. This essentially killed M12 production with only seventeen produced. With a severe lack of funds and an appalling lack of any form of competent management, Megatech, in their desperation, offers to Lamborghini an unsold Vector W8 as payment.

Lamborghini actually accepts the W8, but Jerry Wiegert comes out of nowhere and immediately sues Lamborghini for accepting payment of the W8, for the W8 in question was actually his car. Wiegert ultimately won the suit and retained legal custody of the car, but Lamborghini refuses to return the W8; it remains in Sant'Agata Bolognese to this day.

Scrambling For A Way Out

After this spectacle, Megatech, with no car, no engines, no competent leadership and no funds, tried to find a way out of this situation. In a last ditch attempt to save the brand, the company took the M12 ASR GT2 race car and converted it into the SRV8 (shown above).

In what might have been quite possibly the only smart move Megatech made throughout the entirety of their ownership of Vector, Megatech ditched the Lamborghini V12 and replaced it with a General Motors 5.7L LT1 V8 from a Chevrolet Corvette. This was combined with a Porsche G50 5-speed manual transmission along with a transaxle from a Porsche 964. The car was given a mild bodykit in an attempt to spice things up a bit, as well as fixed headlights taken from the Nissan 300ZX (funnily enough like its cousin the Diablo).

The SRV8 was then shown to the public in 1999, and was Megatech’s way of saying that Vector was back and they were going to take America by storm again, in an attempt to get potential buyers to buy their cars. Unfortunately for them, nobody bought the idea, and sure enough, they weren’t going to; just a few days after the SRV8 showed its face for the first time, Vector shut its doors permanently. Vector was then sold to American Automotive, and Megatech has not been heard from since.

Reborn from the Ashes

After some years, Wiegert purchases the ruins of Vector Aeromotive from American Automotive. He then relocates the company from Florida back to Wilmington, California, and renames the company to Avtech Motors, then Vector Supercars, and finally the current name of Vector Motors. Mullings about Vector designing a new car began to surface, and in 2006, Wiegert proved those rumors true by announcing that he was developing a new car: the WX-8.

Wiegert unveiled the WX-8 in 2007, featuring rather optimistic specifications such as a top speed of 270 mph (430 km/h), 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and somewhere between “over 1250” and “1800+ horsepower”, from either a 10.0L twin-turbocharged V8 or a 7.0L hybrid V8. The car received criticism for resembling a fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro and use of Toyota Supra headlights. As of 2018, the WX-8 was reportedly still under development, with Wiegert selling both WX-3 prototypes in 2019 in order to secure funding.

I hope this gives you a better idea about what to expect from this American supercar company. And thus ends The Vector Saga.

This article is the third in a three-part series I will call The Vector Saga. The series will document the W8, the WX-3, and the history of Vector Motors as a whole.

Industrial Fabrics Market Facts, Opportunities, Future Demand, Segmentation Development and Growth by 2028

The global industrial fabrics market size is projected to reach USD 209.48 billionby 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.3%during the forecast period. According to a report by Fortune Business Insights™, titled “Industrial Fabrics Market, 2021-2028”, the value of this market was estimated to be USD 128.39 billionin 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been found to have impacted the industrial fabrics market growth negatively as the strict lockdown restrictions and social distancing measures forced major vehicle manufacturers to shut down their operations. Tata Motors, for instance, closed its factory in Pune temporarily to abide by lockdown regulations. Similar closures were witnessed across Europe and the US. As a consequence, this market’s growth rate dropped by 0.66% in 2020 and its value is forecasted to reach USD 136.55 billionin 2021.

DuPont Introduces New Range of Fabric Solutions for Core Industries

In December 2019, DuPont Personal Protection rolled out the Nomex® global lineup of industrial fabric solutions engineered exclusively for utilities, oil & gas, and various manufacturing industries in Asia Pacific. Designed to protect workers in these hazardous settings with flame-retardant and arc-rated apparel, the fabrics deliver high durability and comfort, which are widely coveted PPE properties by the workforce in these domains. The other purpose behind the launch of this portfolio by DuPont is to provide streamlined personal protective equipment (PPE) solutions for safety managers across industries. This will also enable companies to easily procure standardized PPE textiles and order customized fabrics for their workforce.

Distinct Advantages of Geosynthetics to Help Market Growth

Geosynthetics are industrial fabrics that comprise at least one natural fiber or polymer that is transformed into sheets or 3-dimensional structures. These fabrics are widely applied in civil engineering projects, primarily in the construction of roads and buildings. Their extensive demand in infrastructure development is premised on the broad range of advantages they offer compared to conventional materials. For example, geosynthetic sheets havehigh flexibility that allows them to fit in any space inlandfill, while taking up minimum space. Geotextiles also carry substantial economic and environmental benefits as well. For example, geosynthetic fabrics are far less expensive to procure, transport, and install compared to soils and fully synthetic materials. Moreover, since these textiles have a healthy proportion of natural ingredients, they can improve soil quality and not harm the underlying soil fragments. Given these proven advantages of geosynthetic fabrics, their adoption in construction works is likely to exponentially expand in the forthcoming years.

Automotive Segment Leads the Market with a Share of 28.5%

In terms of application, this market has been segregated into conveyor belts, transmission belts, protective apparel, automotive, flame-resistant apparel, and others. Here, the automotive segment commanded a share of 28.5% in the global market and a share of 28.3% in the US market. This is primarily attributable to the huge demand for naturally-derived industrial fabrics for auto interiors and component-protection applications, which is stoking market players and research organizations to develop biodegradable textiles for the auto industry. For example, the University of Portsmouth, UK, is formulating a material from flax that will effectively protect vehicle engines.

By fiber type, the market is categorized into polyamide, polyester, aramid composites, and others. Geographically, this market is clubbed into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Asia Pacific to Hold Commanding Market Share from 2021 to 2028, predicts Fortune Business Insights

· Boasting a market size of USD 45.32 billionin 2020, Asia Pacific is slated to command the industrial fabrics market share during the forecast period. The principal driver for the Asia Pacific market is the abundant availability of raw materials across India and China and the technological superiority of Japan and South Korea in chemical manufacturing.

· On the other hand, the market in North America is expected to be characterized by the increasing deployment of geotextiles for geotechnical engineering and soil reinforcement applications.

· In Latin America, the soaring demand for protective apparel from the region’s developing mining sector will enhance the market’s growth prospects in the region.

Prominent Players to Concentrate on Optimization of Production Operations

Key players in this market are aligning their strategies to efficiently cater to the rising demand for industrial fabrics across multiple sectors. To achieve this, several companies are strategically optimizing their production activities to minimize costs and maximize profits. In addition, companies are also capitalizing on opportunities to establish their footprint in developing economies.

U.S. Contract Glazing Market Estimated To Reach $11.5 Billion By 2027

The U.S. contract glazing market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth in the commercial sector along with the increasing road accidents is anticipated to fuel the demand for contract glazing in the U.S.

Construction industry is the largest end user for contract glazing where the applications are spread across a wide range including both exterior and interior of the buildings. Exterior systems include curtain walls, storefronts, structural glass systems, sunshades, and panels, whereas the interior systems include doors and windows, mirrors, shower partitions, tabletops, bathtubs, and staircase railings.

According to the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA), storefront is the leading product over commercial windows and curtain walls for new construction and total non-residential buildings. With the increasing small-scale and large-scale buildings along with changing residential installation standards, glaziers are focusing on manufacturing storefronts and curtain wall systems that meet various requirements of regulatory bodies and consumers.

In the automotive aftermarket, flat glasses are widely used to repair and replace windshields, backlights, and mirrors. The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), a trade association for motor vehicle and mobility suppliers and parts manufacturers and remanufacturers in U.S., maintained and repaired more than 256 million vehicles, by April 2019. Thus, increasing construction activities, coupled with growing automotive aftermarket services, is anticipated to boost the demand for flat glasses in the country in near future.

Strategic partnerships and new product developments are popular strategies adopted by a majority of the players operating in the market for contract glazing. Key players including Benson Industries, Inc., Enclos Corp., and Harmon, Inc. are among the few vertically integrated from designing and engineering to fabrication and installation of curtain wall facade systems.

Insulated segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 4.9%, in terms of revenue, during the forecast period owing to increasing construction of hotels and office buildings in U.S.

Automotive accounted for a volume share of over 4% in 2019 considering the growing number of road accidents in U.S. leading to replacement of vehicle parts such as windshields and windows

Southeast U.S. held the largest volume share of over 25% in 2019, on account of the growth in the construction activities followed by high number of accidents in Florida, Kentucky, Alabama, and South Carolina

Tempered accounted for a volume share of 24.1% of the flat glass segment in 2019, considering its safety characteristics leading to its applications in the interior and exterior of buildings along with automotive aftermarket

The market is fragmented in nature with the presence of various key players such as Parmasteelisa North America; Enclos Corp; Benson Industries; Harmon Inc.; Gamma North America; and Binswanger Glass. Increasing customer base by opening new locations across the country is one of the strategic initiatives adopted by the key players

A Year of Growth With Hill Robinson Group

The coronavirus crisis has caused destabilisation in almost every area of our lives, but perhaps nowhere has this been more profound than that of travel. This week, it is heartening to hear news of strength amongst some of the world leading yacht management & brokerage firms, as testament to the unerring durability of the yachting industry in a time of crisis. We shine a spotlight onto global yacht management firm Hill Robinson, as the company builds its senior management team and its HRCrew division reports the first quarter of 2020 to be its busiest yet.

To say Hill Robinson possesses a global reach would be something of an understatement. With a worldwide presence spanning from Florida through to Monaco and even Australia, Hill Robinson’s admirable portfolio of services and impressive superyacht fleet make this firm a truly all-inclusive solution to every charter requirement imaginable.

Hill Robinson has firmly established itself as a reliable and prestigious charter management group, boasting an expansive fleet which includes the likes of 85.3m Bold, a show-stopper at the Monaco Yacht Show last year, and Abeking & Rasmussen 78.5m Amaryllis. Now Hill Robinson Group has successfully turned its hand to both the charter and brokerage spheres, acquiring Monegasque brand Moravia Yachting in 2016 to provide a seamless operation across the board.

In line with ongoing expansion, Hill Robinson has naturally announced it is strengthening its management team by welcoming Tim Leese on board to the position of COO, while Kurt Fraser joins the group as Sales and Marketing Director.

Tim Leese brings with him a wealth of experience, spending years working for automotive companies Jaguar Land Rover and Rolls Royce Motors before moving over to the yachting industry. After establishing his success in yacht dealership in the Middle East and South East Asia, Tim Leese comments, ''Joining Hill Robinson as the COO is a great opportunity to use my combined experience in the luxury automobile industry… Hill Robinson is an exciting multifaceted business challenge for me going forward with fresh opportunities in all the vertical client sectors they have been so successful in as they grow.”

Joining Tim Leese as new recruit and heading up the Sales and Marketing for Hill Robinson Group will be Kurt Fraser. A familiar name to many in yachting, Kurt has spent the last five years as Marketing and Commercial director with leading yacht charter and sales brokerage businesses, bringing with him years of expertise to direct the strategic positioning of Moravia Yachting as an emerging boutique brokerage.

Kurt comments, "With the solid foundations built by the Partners and Directors of Hill Robinson, across practically all key areas in the superyacht client support arena, Hill Robinson and Moravia Yachting offer an exciting launch pad to reach out to our clients in new and refreshing ways. We want to focus on the way we make a difference when supporting our clients, especially in these changing and challenging times.”

Meanwhile, Hill Robinson Group has reported ongoing success across its breadth of services, as the HRCrew division saw its busiest ever quarter in the beginning of this year. Fully operational and continuing to place staff in positions ranging from 25m to 130m yachts - as well as some land-based - HRCrew plays an important role in engaging young people across the world and helping the industry grow more accessible.

From top level management to Captains and crew, Hill Robinson Group has defied the challenges of the current climate with perseverance and skill. As Nick Hill, founding partner, comments, ''Even with the new challenges of the 'new-normal' world with the Covid-19 epidemic we are firmly following our strategy of recruiting the best people to drive our business objectives forward.”
