Parkol Marine Engineering was established almost 50 years ago as a boat repair company by Ken Parker and the late John Oliver. Based at Spital Bridge in Whitby before moving to the town’s Eskside Wharf in 1992, they have grown tenfold and are now recognised as one of the leading boat builders in the UK.

Today’s team share the passion of the two founders, as well as adding their wide-ranging experience of everything from fabrication to engineering, civil engineering, project management and design innovation which are defining the next, exciting stage of our evolution.
