They now move to the next chapter of their lives, retirement, and we wish them health and happiness as they spend time with family and numerous adventures I’m sure. With their departure we welcome Wakeford Marine Services (WMS). Quintin and Anja (On ya’) Wakeford will take over the Mechanical and Engineering Services here while continuing to operate their existing mechanical business at Rowell Marine in Pittwater, where they have been running for 6 years
I know the Wakeford’s are excited to join our family, so please make them welcome and when you next are here drop in and say Hi. WMS are dealers for Caterpillar, Volvo, MAN, Yanmar, and Cummins just to name a few.
Peter Harlum from Offshore Marine Trimming is expecting a baby any day now He will be spending time looking after his two kids as well as supporting his wife and new born over the holiday season Please give him a ring and leave a voicemail as he is available by appointment only I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a safe and enjoyable Christmas, all the very best for 2023 and a big thank you for your continued support of our services at Fenwicks Marina.

Cheers, Andrew Fenwick
AFTER 16 YEARS OF BEING HERE ONSITE, STEVE AND LEANNE ARE NOW RETIRING AND WE WILL MISS HAVING THE CALLAGHAN'S AROUND. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEY FIRST STARTED HERE IN 2006 THEY GREW THE BUSINESS TO HAVE EVEN MORE STAFF THAN US PRIOR TO COVID. AS HARD AS GOODBYES ARE, WE KNOW THEY CAN STEP BACK AND TRAVEL AS MUCH AS THEY WANT AND SPEND TIME WITH THEIR BELOVED FAMILY! CALLAGHANS WILL BE MISSED AS THEY WERE ALWAYS THE LIFE OF THE PARTY AND WHO COULD FORGET STEVES DELICIOUS ROAST? HAPPY RETIREMENT STEVE AND LEANNE! FROM
