As the storms of recession start to threaten the UK’s credit crunched coastline one marine business, at least, is expanding.

Force 4 Chandlery has opened its fifth shop, located in Cardiff Marine Village, a new marine development on the Penarth Road in Cardiff.

Force 4 Chandlery have been supplying sailing equipment to yachtsmen since 1977 and already have retail shops in Bristol, Poole, Lymington & Chichester.
