A very special night - shared with dealers, suppliers, staff and friends.
It was a spectacular night last Friday at DMW’s 50th year celebration. An extraordinary night for their company and family. It was great to see so many members of the marine industry in attendance, including DMW’s past and present dealers, suppliers, staff, and friends; it was a privilege for the Powerboat Magazine team to attend. DMW celebrated their 50-year history across three generations and over 23,000 trailers.Â

They recognised some of their dealers and manufacturers that have been involved with their brand for a significant amount of time. Rollos Marine, Gulfland Marine, Marine North and Peninsula Marine Ltd were awarded for their long-standing and loyal relationship. Haines Hunter NZ, Senator Boats, Profile Boats and Stabicraft were recognised for their contributions as key manufacturers to the DMW brand. Family Boats was awarded Top Sales for a North Island Dealer for the past decade, along with Bays Boating for the South Island. 2 awards were also given out to Woodbine Marine and Ocean Sports Marine for outstanding growth in sales over the last ten years. The award winners all shared kind words along with Peter Busfield and Lionel Sands who presented speeches.Â
“We would like to thank everyone who made the effort to join us from near and far and for all the congratulatory conversations we received last night and the messages we have received since. 50 years for any company is a significant achievement. Still, we are super proud that DMW Trailers has done it and remains owned and operated by our family, and we aim to continue the legacy started by Rollo Dutton 5 decades ago. Thanks to our staff and suppliers who help us make the best boat trailers in NZ. Thanks also to all the retail customers who buy our trailers – you are the reason we do what we do!” commented Brad Dutton, Director, DMW Trailers.
