DommyBoy Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi guys, im going to the boatshow on wednesday as I now work for someone new, dealing with marine insurance (underwriting, not broking) based in Lymington. Just wondered if any of you guys will be there so I can say hi on Wednesday. Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways I wish I was there. London Boat Show is an institution and a great fun place to work, but the reports I have heard back so far are not exactly inspiring. Loads of empty space, wide aisles, half empty halls and hardly any customers. If it is Mr Dodd you now work for, have a Guinness with Deano and raise a glass to "absent friends". Your new expense account will be rather good. Tom PS: Ask him when I am going to get my latest cheque! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have "special guest" tickets and intend on being there one day this week although not sure which day yet. Unfortunately it cant be wednesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Can't comment on Towergate's expense account, but the company has a good rep. Have fun at the show. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DommyBoy Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 The expense account best be good as I want some perks!!!! Well i'm only in my 2nd week here after the wonderful redundancy from my last job put paid to that......but seems OK so far. It has a good rep and has between 1/4-1/5th of the whole marine market for insurance so its a busy place to work....if not small! Am yet to find out how boring or interesting it is! Oh well, we'll see! Im sure I will meet up with you at the Southampton boat show later in year and we will meet for a cheeky pint!!!!
