A FAMILY-RUN boat building business is making waves by creating offices out of boats.

JL Pinder and Son, in Hanbury Road, Stoke Prior, has made the first order as part of a floating office complex system in Edinburgh.

The business started making the first office in March and delivered it last month to Scotland.

The boats are made from scratch and the inside of the offices are open plan for such facilities as a reception and boardroom.

John Pinder said: "The company looked all over Europe for someone who could make office boats so for us to get the work was great news.

"The boats will be put on the water and and then hired by different companies," he added.
