This past Saturday, the Jo Fensham team took to the field at the 8th AMSOL Maritime Industry Soccer Tournament at Fives Futbol Club in Century City.

Hosted annually by African Marine Solutions (AMSOL), the tournament brings together companies from across the maritime industry for a day of friendly competition, team spirit and fundraising. This year’s event supported the important work of Sanccob Saves Seabirds , helping to rescue, rehabilitate and protect vulnerable seabirds, including the critically endangered African Penguin.

It was a fantastic day of sport, teamwork and family — with colleagues, partners and supporters coming together to enjoy time outside the workshop and celebrate the people who make our industry what it is.

Pictured here in their smart blue and white kit, our team represented Jo Fensham with energy, enthusiasm and great sportsmanship.

A special thank you to photographer Michael Attfield for capturing these excellent images.

Jo Fensham has developed its own proprietary Jo Fensham Digital Service (JFDS) for yacht upholstery and soft furnishings.

This means a vessel can be scanned once, digitally recorded accurately, and supported again in future with replacement cushions, covers or full remakes manufactured in Cape Town and shipped worldwide.

It is a smart, flexible and highly distinctive service that brings together digital precision, expert craftsmanship and long-term support.
