As we start into 2025, I’d like to take a moment to look back on the past year and share some thoughts on what’s ahead for Advanced Marine.
2024 was a year of growth and change. We’re proud to have gained and maintained our ISO 9000 certification, a testament to the team’s dedication to quality and improvement of our internal systems. We also welcomed new faces to the team, bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm to our work. At the same time, we said goodbye to Salaam, our long-time Sales Manager, who has been an integral part of our journey. Salam is still lurking in the background, as we still need to call upon is vast knowledge and experience at times. He is still assisting us with KM hat courses when required.
Another major shift was the founder of Advanced Marine, Jeff Bradford stepping back into a well-deserved retirement after a long and impactful career. Jeff’s leadership, drive and vision shaped Advanced Marine into what it is today, and while we’ll miss having him at the helm, his legacy will continue to inspire us as we move forward. As the owner, Jeff and his family are still involved in the major decisions but has left the day-to-day decisions to the team.
On the product front, we’ve made exciting strides with new designs and improvements across our range, ensuring our offerings remain innovative and reliable. We’re also exploring ways to expand our solutions, recognizing the growing needs of our clients in this area. We continue to work with our major suppliers, ensure our customer needs are met.
Looking to the year ahead, we’re eager to build on these developments, strengthen relationships, and continue to provide the best support to the industry. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can do even better.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Here’s to an exciting and successful 2025 together!
Warm regards,
Bill Jordan
