It's a globally recognised yacht instruments company which has supplied a Vendée Globe winner and some of the world's most renowned superyachts, new builds and race boats.
A + T Instruments, based in Lymington, is marking a decade of success, plus a 30 per cent increase in sales in the last year, with a number of special events.
There were celebrations at Palma Boat Show earlier this month with plans for more at METS trade show in Amsterdam and on the motor yacht Rum jungle in Lymington.

The firm was founded in 2015 by yacht electronics expert and design engineer Richard Tinley and Cambridge mathematician, oceanographer and race navigator Hugh Agnew, with the mission of producing the best yacht instruments ever made.
A+T's range is now used by top race boats including Vendée Globe winner MACIF and other entrants, as well as hundreds of superyachts, big new build yachts and elite race boats worldwide.
All A+T equipment, from carbon fibre wind sensors to the brightest and toughest displays on the market, is designed, manufactured and rigorously tested in Lymington and backed up with 24/7 customer support.

After all, I had seen hundreds of examples of how it shouldn't be done!
"Working with Hugh and other experts who use racing instruments for their livelihood, we designed from the ground up, putting in only the best bits. After ten years with the most demanding use on boats across the globe, we are extremely proud that our instruments have proven to stand the test of time."
Hugh Agnew added: "It's been a fantastic decade where we've set out to do what we knew we could to fill that gap in the market for exceptional high-end products and customer service.
"All of us at A+T are sailors so we understand that shipping parts quickly and technical support is critical to helping a yacht be able to compete in the toughest yacht races going."
