A tour of the Barton Marine factory with CEO Suzanne Blaustone

Whitstable Shipwright and boat builder Ron Barton established R.S.J. Barton in 1948, and was one of the first to use the fabric based laminated plastic Tufnol and stainless steel to manufacture yachting blocks which were much lighter and stronger than previously achievable. Based at Whitstable, Kent in the UK, Barton Marine produces sailing and yachting fittings which are used around the world, and continues to innovate, also designing and manufacturing hardware used outside of the marine industry. CEO Suzanne Blaustone shows us around the factory, and we meet some of the team to find out about their roles and why they love working at Barton Marine.
