Survey Class Marine

COMPANY PROFILE

Complete Boating Service was established on the Gold Coast in 1988. At that time the company was repairing and refurbishing all manner of marine vessels from a workshop at Mariner's Cove. New boats were being built from a factory in Labrador employing up to 10 qualified professionals, with the principal of the business, Peter Kidd, always on hand.

Prior to 1988, the experience was gained from an apprenticeship as a boat builder in Sydney , from 1966, building Clinker Yachts. From the completion of that apprenticeship in 1971, more experience was gained by working continually within the waterfront marine industry always employing qualified professionals to ensure competent completion of all work.

1975 saw the beginning of the survey business while continuing to build and repair vessels. This was initially brought about by clients requesting professional advice on all manner of repairs and building requirements. The company did diversify in the late 1980's to retail and repairing vessels from a boatyard away from the waterfront. This allowed further experience in retails sales, valuations and the finance industry.

The company is now valued by many insurance companies. These include .....
