What we do

A highly skilled and productive workforce that can work efficiently and effectively is critical for competing and making a success of your marine business. Many businesses struggle with untrained employees that can significantly impact on current and future profit.

We have been supporting our members with their marketing activity since 2005, helping businesses increase their visibility and grow as a result.

Cornwall Marine Network provides support to marine businesses in Cornwall to improve skills, productivity and outputs. If you believe your business has untapped potential, the team at CMN are on hand to help you look forward and turn that potential into profit.

Accessing grants and funding can be a great way for you to obtain support you need to make innovative changes within your business. Buying new equipment and services can be a big financial commitment, and our team of advisers are on hand to help.

The Apprenticeship scheme delivered by CMN offers a new and unique approach to enhancing your workforce by taking on a new apprentice; coupled with a package of benefits that will genuinely support your business and its needs.

Meet business owners, decision makers and marine industry experts at our Cornwall-based networking events. As Cornwall’s only marine sector membership organisation, we are the premier provider of marine industry networking events in the county.
