Women In The Marine Industry: Interview with Lauren

Lauren Mead, sales and marketing director for TeamO Marine Safety Products, will be joining MIN to deliver an exciting online seminar about turning ideas into technology and taking them to market.

It’s on Thursday 25 February, starting at 11am, and is the first in MIN’s Women in Marine series. Register to attend this exclusive online seminar.

MIN’ll be spending an hour chatting with Mead about how she and her brother Oscar took an idea, developed the technology and then built a successful business. The conversation will delve into how TeamO’s patented its products and how the company’s sourced, and worked with, investors in its ten year journey.

TeamO Marine designs and manufacturers award-winning safety products for sailors. Best known for the BackTow lifejacket, this patented design is the only lifejacket with a moveable harness point. The Meads hit upon the idea after an emergency call-out to a competitor in a race Lauren Mead was crewing. That fatal incident was the inspiration for the business. Now a TeamO lifejacket will keep a sailor face up if they fall overboard while clipped on to their vessel.

Register today be part of this exclusive online event, the inaugural session in MIN’s Women in Marine series. The first forty MIN readers who register will receive a free MIN mug. Register to attend this exclusive online seminar.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of Mead.

Free attendance at Women in Marine is made possible by the kind sponsorship of Barton Marine.

This life jacket is so light and noninvasive that I forget that I’m wearing it. I highly recommend it!

Received

We received our 170N life vests within two weeks of placing our order. We live in Texas and expected shipping from the UK to take longer. The vests are comfortable to were while on deck. My wife and I are leaving Galveston in April for our years long cruising life and I purchased these life vests because we are expecting to be on watch alone at various intervals. We both clip in our tethers and use jack lines when necessary to go forward while underway.. Neither of us has ever fallen overboard and this is our greatest fear while underway. This vest appears to provide the best possibility for survival if one of us fall overboard while alone on deck.

170N offshore lifejacket

Hoping I never need to use it in anger but so far satisfied with the product.
Fits perfectly, feels lighter than previous version and just love the colour.. !
Initially I didn’t know who to direct my emails to .. but once I found a contact communication ran smoothly.

Few Upgrades and would be Perfect

Now that I worn it for a little while now it’s a really good product! I’m quite happy with it. The only reason I can’t give it five stars is because the leg straps just aren’t beefy enough. I’d like something more substantial to hold on to me if I fall overboard.. These little teeny tiny thin straps will dig into your legs real quick… This is literally the only thing that’s not built to an industrial standard, everything about this lifevest is made for offshore cruising!
