The Marina Industries Association (MIA) is proud to announce a new partnership with Shoreside Clothing. Uniform and merchandising suppliers which consolidate a range of boating brands have been limited in the marine industry.

Shoreside Clothing fill that gap by providing a one-stop solution to enable marine businesses to clothe their staff in well-priced, quality, marine appropriate uniforms that provide the right protection, project a good image and have staff looking and feeling great.

MIA CEO Suzanne Davies commented, "Shoreside Clothing joined MIA membership as our first clothing supplier member and quickly realised the benefit of partnering with the MIA to facilitate the uniform and merchandising needs of the membership. They have already shown their industry support by providing product to assist in our fundraising efforts for the Marine Industry Foundation."

Shoreside Clothing was founded by Samantha Miles and Natalie Sampson, keen sailors who have long working histories within the corporate and uniform industry. Having supplied merchandise and team uniforms to the marine, corporate and equestrian industries for the past 20 years, they formed the Shoreside Clothing partnership in 2019. Natalie Sampson explained, "We had a vision to offer clients a unique personal service to reduce time and stress involved in outfitting teams, crews, staff and events. We have all the favourite marine brands under one roof." Sam Miles added, "We can also help with merchandising by providing branded products for marinas to sell on site. Who doesn't need to have a supply of branded caps at their marina?"

Shoreside provides fast, convenient solutions and an excellent product range including Musto, Dubarry, Sail Racing, Helly Hansen, Code Zero, Gill, Burke, AS Colour, Stormtech and more. Shoreside currently supply several MIA members including the Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay, The Quays Marina, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club, Batemans Bay Marina, Port Macquarie Marina and Corleone Marine Services. They will also supply the BIA crew uniforms at this year's Sydney Festival of Boating kicking off on 29 July.

The MIA actively encourages its members to support those businesses which give back to the industry and as MIA President Andrew Chapman noted at the recent Club Marine Marina of the Year Awards, "The additional contributions from our sponsors and partners enables the MIA to better support the marina industries and we encourage all members to consider them when making purchasing and supply decisions."
