Inspiring the next generation of marine electrical engineers!

This week, Michael Rollings (Rolly) represented SeaKing Group at the annual Careers Fair at Woodchurch High School.

It was a busy event meeting students and parents, talking about careers in marine electrical engineering and the different opportunities available within the industry.

Michael also shared more about SeaKing's apprenticeship programme, giving students an insight into what an apprenticeship involves and how they can take their first steps towards a career in engineering.

It's always encouraging to see young people taking an interest in the industry and asking questions about the opportunities available to them.

A big thank you to Woodchurch High School for inviting us along, and to all the students and parents who stopped by to chat with Michael!

A fantastic result for Peak to Paddle!

Following last month's Peak to Paddle challenge, we're delighted to share that Team SeaKing raised an incredible £8,090 for The Hive Youth Zone, Wirral

The evening also included a celebration of the Peak to Paddle fundraising achievements, with SeaKing receiving an award for its fundraising efforts.

A big thank you to The Hive for recognising SeaKing's contribution and presenting the team with a trophy, a lovely framed photograph and two bottles of Moët!

Across all the teams taking part, the challenge raised a fantastic £20,640 to support The Hive and the work they do with young people across Wirral.

Celebrating engineering excellence at the James Watt Dinner

SeaKing Group was delighted to sponsor this year's James Watt Dinner, hosted by the Institution of Engineers in Scotland (IES) on Friday 2 October at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow.

One of the longest-running events in the engineering calendar, the dinner brings together professionals from across the industry to celebrate engineering achievements, recognise contributions to the profession and honour the legacy of James Watt.

A highlight of the evening was the announcement of the latest inductees into the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame, recognising individuals who have made an important contribution to engineering.

It was also wonderful to hear that the evening raised over £2,000 for Glasgow Humane Society, supporting the charity's important lifesaving work.

A big thank you to the Institution of Engineers in Scotland for organising the event. SeaKing was proud to play a part in supporting an evening that celebrates the people, achievements and future of engineering.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

Michael joined guests including Peter Oliver OBE - Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside, Lady Anne Dodd - President of MAST, Jim Graves B.E.M. - Founder of MAST, and Cllr William Shortall- Lord Mayor of Liverpool.

Safety First!

Last week, seven members of the SeaKing team completed Basic Fire Fighting and Fire Marshal training at our Birkenhead site.

Led by Paul Smyth from TL Training, the session combined classroom learning with practical exercises, covering fire hazard identification, the correct use of fire extinguishers and safe evacuation procedures.

Our seven newly qualified Fire Marshals are now equipped with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively in an emergency, helping to maintain a safe working environment for everyone across the business.

A big thank you to Paul and TL Training for delivering the session, and well done to everyone who took part!

SeaKing Group named Business of the Year finalist!

We’re incredibly proud to announce that SeaKing Group has been named a finalist for Business of the Year at the Mersey Maritime Industry Awards 2026!

Now in their twelfth year, the awards celebrate excellence across the maritime industry in the Liverpool City Region and wider North West, and this year saw a record number of entries, making our place in the final three an achievement we’re extremely proud of.

Following a rigorous judging process by a panel of industry experts and business leaders, SeaKing has been shortlisted alongside Marine Specialised Technology and Peel Ports Group.

This isn’t our first time in the Business of the Year final. In 2023, SeaKing was also shortlisted for Business of the Year and went on to win SME of the Year.

Three years on, and in our 25th anniversary year, it feels particularly special to once again be recognised amongst some of the leading names in the region’s maritime industry.

From continued growth and investment in our people, to expanding our capabilities and supporting major projects across the maritime and defence sectors, there’s been plenty to celebrate at SeaKing in 2026.

A huge thank you to everyone across the business who continues to play a part in our success, as always, it’s our people who make it happen.

The next stage is the industry vote, opening on 30th October, when maritime professionals locally, nationally and internationally will have the opportunity to cast their vote.

For now, we’re celebrating making the final three!

Celebrating the new Mersey Ferry

A proud moment for SeaKing Group as our team members Diane Johns and Paul Hansard joined fellow project partners aboard Royal Daffodil, the new Mersey Ferry, for a special celebration cruise on the River Mersey.

The event brought together many of the people and organisations whose expertise, dedication and hard work helped bring the vessel to life, ahead of her entering passenger service.

SeaKing has played an important role in the delivery of the new ferry, undertaking the full electrical package, including the main switchboards, system design, installation of mechanical and electrical services, and integration within the vessel’s steel structure.

Built in Balaena Birkenhead, Royal Daffodil represents a significant milestone for the region as the first new Mersey Ferry in more than 60 years.

The project has also provided valuable hands-on experience for SeaKing’s apprentices, giving the next generation of marine electrical engineers the opportunity to contribute to a landmark project right here on the Mersey.

It was fantastic for Diane and Paul to step aboard the finished vessel and celebrate alongside so many of the people who have contributed to bringing Royal Daffodil to life.

A very proud project for SeaKing to have played a part in.

Peak to Paddle, COMPLETED!

They did it!

After a huge day of climbing, walking and paddling, the SeaKing Peak to Paddle team have officially completed their challenge in support of The Hive Youth Zone

Taking on Snowdon before swapping the mountains for the water was no small challenge, but the team made it to the finish together.

A massive well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to everyone who has supported the team, sent messages of encouragement and donated along the way.

Most importantly, every step and every paddle has been about raising vital funds for The Hive and the incredible work they do supporting children and young people across our region.

Well done Team SeaKing, what an achievement!
