Joint approach for Pedros

DARTSIDE based Pedros Yacht Refinishing and Totnes based Baltic Wharf Boatyard have joined forces to offer a comprehensive painting service to sailors.

The two businesses have formed an association whereby all paint jobs which take place at Baltic Wharf will be carried out Pedros staff in a move the two businesses says combines experience with the extra facilities available at Baltic Wharf.

Mike Lyness, owner of Pedros, said: “It will be mutually beneficial for our customers across the South West.

“There’s a purpose built painting facility which can take boats up to 85’ in length. At the moment, at Dartside, we can only take on boats up to 57’ in length.

“It will provide an additional base for our customers.

“It’s a new enterprise for both of us. It’s Pedros working in association with Baltic Wharf.”
