“As a result, we have experienced a significant increase in operating expenses that has impacted our financial performance. Despite these difficult circumstances, Caverton remains committed to prioritising the safety and quality of service delivery to our clients. We understand the importance of maintaining our operational standards and ensuring the utmost satisfaction of our customers,” he said.
“We have taken proactive measures to address the challenges and mitigate their impact on our operations. In recent times, Caverton Marine has successfully diversified its business into boat building, expanding our portfolio of services.
