but, generally speaking, stupidity is not one of them. They have no problem in paying exceptional prices for exceptional services but they are getting increasingly tired of paying exorbitant prices for mediocre services. Mallorca is by no means cheap but you do, usually, get good value for money.”
Carpentry And Boat Building Services S.L (CABBS) was founded in 2007 by Brendon Jost, (known to his friends as Cabbs). Services include: wooden yacht construction, restorations, interior refits and alterations, teak decking,exterior furniture and wood turning.
Jost reports a busy summer 2019: A number of slightly larger and longer projects coming through the doors coupled with return clients doing typical yearly maintenance made it busier than other years. “I really can’t say if this is due to any particular global economic factors to be honest. It feels like there
is a better confidence level around in our sector at the moment, but how this plays out with the current political and economic situation in Europe (and worldwide) I really couldn’t say.”
Jost sees predicting future growth in business as nothing other than a recipe for disaster, but he is ‘hoping’ the market confidence continues so that CABBS can grow along with it: “I feel there is the distinct possibility in the shorter term for things to continue to improve, but, again these things could all be affected very quickly with global political and economic changes that could happen. We as a company are quietly hoping for a nice continuous controllable increase in business, lets hope it happens!”
As the company has become more widely known, slowly the projects have become larger and CABBS has grown to accomplish the larger jobs. “The work itself is much the
same but I think as a company begins to grow the perceived confidence in what it can accomplish also increases and this can lead to clients willing to give you opportunities to work on increasingly larger projects.”
Ever cautious, Jost nevertheless has plans for 2020, including expanding the fleet of vehicles to be more versatile and efficient. He also has plans to replace some of the older machinery with new, modern accurate machines to again increase efficiency and accuracy.”
