HOVERSPEED - STANDING UP FOR BRITAIN

19 March 2004

The Union Jack is back and its here to stay. Revealed today for the first time and in all its glory, Hoverspeed has a brand new look for its Seacat fleet the Union Jack emblazoned down each side of the vessel.

Officially offering the fastest way to reach France by sea, Hoverspeed now also hopes to become the true British flag carrier of the ferry industry.

Geoffrey Ede, Managing Director of Hoverspeed comments, Hoverspeed is looking forward to ruling the waves of the English Channel. We understood that wave of patriotism that swept the country after England won the Rugby World Cup in November. All too often as a nation we tend to apologise for the fact that were British but we believe that we should back British tourism and goods.

Were confident that well be carrying lots of passengers to the Continent this summer who are attracted by our speed, competitive prices and our pledge to help put the Britishness back into Britain! As a British company with British staff were already focused on providing the best of British in everything we do and hope to build on this in the future to continue to raise the standard of sea travel for all the population.
