Nick Griffith, Managing Director of Ancasta Group said:
“Spencer Rigging is a hugely respected name with a reputation built on trust and quality products produced by its skilled workforce, continuing the company ethos established by Harry Spencer over 65 years ago.
“We’re delighted to be extending this reputation to further enhance Ancasta Group‘s turnkey boat repair, maintenance and aftersales services that support clients through the lifecycle of their boat ownership, and continue to deliver trusted equipment and services to a wide range of industries.”
The Ancasta Group offers its customers a complete boating service, which includes Ancasta Yacht Services, operating from Port Hamble. The rigging specialist joins the group to deliver marine, architectural and commercial rigging services, also alongside Advanced Rigging and Hydraulics, Ancasta Race Boats, Ancasta International Boat Sales, and Ancasta Ownership Solutions.
Ancasta Group is partnered with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust to help young people living through and beyond cancer. The Cowes/Largs-based Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a sailing charity that offers sailing and adventure trips to young people aged eight to 24 who are recovering from cancer.
For every new boat sold, Ancasta donates the cost for one young person to go on a four-day sailing adventure with the Trust for the first time. Ancasta also supports the charity through team fundraising, volunteering, and awareness-raising activities.
