About
Scottish Service Centre - GRM Marine Ltd.
Graham Campbell has a strong relationship with two other Scottish Hyde agents, Kevin Aitken and Peter Watt. Graham explains: "With the addition of a service centre which would offer sail repair and service facilities to Hyde's existing customers, all the Scottish agents would be pulling together in terms of the service they can provide. Also boat covers and rigging can be offered through this centre further promoting the Hyde brand. Hyde is a global brand and the tie-up allows us to offer competitive prices on sails from a well known and respected company."
Graham has been involved in sailmaking for over 25 years, including sail design, manufacture, covers and canopies and rigging. An active sailor who races regularly at club level and travelers' events mostly in one-design classes, Graham has had many sailing successes over the years in the Sonata, Flying Fifteen and local one-design classes, winning the overall trophy at the 1998 Scottish Series, and twice taking the Loch Long class championship. He has designed and built sails from Maxi yachts to Mirror dinghies and is fully versed on all the latest innovations within sailmaking. GNM Marine is based within Kip Marina on the River Clyde, and as Graham explains the facilities are ideal: "We have all the machines required on site for sail servicing, canvas work, bespoke covers and a fully equipped rigging department. We intentionally chose Kip as the base as it makes sense to be on site and within reach of potential customers and all the benefits that go along with being within Scotland's premier marina."
Graham says: "We feel very positive about the future of the partnership for various reasons, we are delighted to have the backing of a global company such as Hyde Sails as it demonstrates consistency of product for us. We know when we sell a sail to a customer they will get exactly what was ordered delivered by Hyde, this is extremely important in the one-design classes where accurate reproduction is required
