Hudson Boat Works

So the new year is off to a quick start, the first long weekend of 2009 is just a month away (yeah!!). For my first post of the year I was thinking what to talk about, it didn't take me long to think of our economy and the struggles people are facing these days especially in the manufacturing sector. I started at the opposite end, as always I'm interested in the technology sector of this great city. So I started my search on Google to see what the technology sector is delivering these days in the Forest City. I came across Resolution Interactive Media a small web development company that is delivering some great websites, as I looked over their portfolio they just completed a website for Hudson Boat Works. A London company manufacturing boats for sale to professional rowing teams. Looks like a great company that has a long history in our city. Reading over their company history I notice they are looking to grow!!!

"Jack Coughlan and his brother-in-law Hugh Hudson founded Hudson Boat Works in 1981, and Jack remains President today. With a growing international reputation and expansion in key international markets, the goal is to double our capacity in the next 4 years, and consolidate and expand our facilities from 30,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet. The number of employees is expected to increase to 75."

What a great opportunity for anyone out there looking for work in the manufacturing sector to try and join this successful organization.

I would like to wish everyone all the best in 2009 and please ensure to check out London Technology News once in a while to get the latest on the Technology companies of our city.
