DF Capital sponsors Women in Marine Day and Trade Tuesday at the Southampton International Boat Show
DF Capital is a headline sponsor at the 2024 Southampton International Boat Show this month, sponsoring both Trade Tuesday – a networking event for marine industry professionals – and Women in Marine Day – a day dedicated to celebrating and empowering women in the industry.
As headline supporter of the two days, DF Capital continues to demonstrate its commitment to both diversity and supporting small and medium-sized businesses within the marine industry. Angela Goulding, DF Capital’s Managing Director of Powersports, will take a leading role in the week’s activities. She will deliver the opening address at the networking breakfast on Tuesday 17 September, setting the tone for a day of connection and collaboration.
Angela will also feature on the Women in Marine panel on Thursday 19 September, a highly anticipated debate that will take place onboard the Ocean Scene cruise ship. The event, titled “Empowering Tomorrow: Inspiring the Next Generation and Shaping Our Future,” celebrates the diversity of the marine industry and will discuss strategies to support female leaders of the future to continue to drive innovation and growth in the sector.
Angela Goulding, DF Capital’s managing director of powersports said: “It’s vital to support an industry that is central to so many businesses in the UK, especially SMEs. Our role is not only to provide flexible funding solutions but also to engage with the community, ensuring that all voices in the marine sector, regardless of size, are heard and supported. That’s why the Women in Marine initiative is more than just a commitment to diversity; it’s about recognising the vital contributions that women make and ensuring they have the opportunities to lead and innovate. DF Capital’s involvement in this show underscores our dedication to empowering all individuals and businesses within the industry to reach their full potential. Together we can contribute to a more dynamic and forward-thinking marine sector.”
DF Capital looks forward to a day of engaging discussions, networking, and inspiration at the Southampton International Boat Show, as it continues to support the growth and success of the marine industry.
