C.Ricko Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Good Evening all, not sure who noticed or knew, but as of today we are able to take direct bookings via our own website www.broadshols.co.uk We announced it just now on Facebook but I can’t put a link up.. we have parted company with Hoseasons and can pass on some of the savings but as we didn’t discount this year (due to initial fair pricing ) we won’t discount for next year, we do reserve the right to put them up though so book early with confidence that you wouldn’t get it cheaper😀 www.broadshols.co.uk 14 2 Quote
YnysMon Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Congrats Clive. In our hiring days, before we joined a syndicate, we always booked direct, from our very first hire in 2016. 1 Quote
Bikertov Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Best of luck with the direct bookings Clive ! Glad you are passing on savings to your customers too. 2 Quote
CambridgeCabby Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Congratulations to “HPC” for what seems to have been an excellent season , your fleet have noticeably been impeccably turned out compared to more established yards and the feedback we have been given from your hirers has often exceeded their expectations. Here’s looking forward to many more successful years as an independent company free from the shackles of the Hoseasons branding 4 1 Quote
Broads01 Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 This is excellent, Clive. I really like the revamped website and based on a quick glance at the prices you seem to be offering excellent value. All the best in picking up plenty of bookings for next year. 1 1 Quote

Andrewcook Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Hi C Rico I used to do Direct Booking with Nigel and Sarah at Royal Boat Yard but No longer with Barnes Brinks No way As I have been with Richardsons even when you were there now doing very well with Horning Pleasaurr Craft which is is why I must commend Cl Rico for ditch the Boating Agency and doing Dirct Boating with your loyal Customers 2 1 Quote

One of Nigels Boatbuilders came to Horning when they shut and is still with us, looking after the wooden boats and involved in the new build, he is part of a fantastic team we are lucky to have around us.. 13 Quote
