2009 marked the 100th year of continuous engineering services of the Baddiley family in Brisbane.

“Alex Baddiley was known as the gentleman of the Brisbane River and I think that trait has survived throughout the years to the current management,” stated Steve Fisher, General Manager of Rivergate.

Lex Baddiley Marine Engineers service an extensive network of vessels and clients whom travel great distances to have work completed by the latest family generation, Paul and David Baddiley, at Rivergate Marina and Shipyard.

The current business at Rivergate specialises in repair and maintenance of propeller, shaft, rudder and propulsion mechanisms for yachts, superyachts, patrol boats, steel vessels, wooden boats and motor craft.

Lex Baddiley Marine Engineers’ reputation has taken David and Paul as far as Norway to work on a vessel and throughout the Pacific and Australia’s east coast.

To commemorate the occasion, Rivergate hosted a Morning Tea for the Baddiley family, clients and friends.  It was wonderful to see three generations of Baddiley attending.
