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.

My 5 life jackets

Hi all. I first saw the life jackets on u tube a video by sailing uma I was impressed with what I seen so I got 2 limited addition thay are N170 black with pink piping this year. A couple of years later I bought 2 more gray/orange N170 for any crew members . The 5th one? I treated my self and got a blue/yellow piping N270 . I think it's important to have the best you can afford. I have look at other life jackets and what other people are using and they just don't seem adequate enough for me at the end of the day you as captain are responsible for your crew and what price do you put on life. I know I've got the best I can afford and giveing them the best chance of survival. So now I can say I've done my best to get the best I could afford and now I have 5 temo life jackets. PS you need to see the utube video on the life jackets I loved the part with the cup of tea.

Great Piece of Gear

I have purchased the lifejacket for a specific trip off-shore in the pacific, it has arrived in a short time. I must say I am very happy with the overall product, even in warm climates was very comfortable to wear and the materials seem very nice and sturdy.
I can only point out 2 elements that got me to rate it "only" 4 and not 5:
1. The light that comes inside the lifejacket was not exactly new. Manufactured in June 2021 with only 1/3 life left, expiry date June 2026.
2. I have purchased the lifejacket and had it shipped to Italy. As it arrived I had to pay about 25% of taxes on top for the import. I know this does not depend on TeamO but it would be nice to have mentioned on the site the possible additional costs related to importation in EU.

Great lifejacket

This life jacket is so light you barely know you even have it on. It is perfect for the dinghy, paddle boards and kayaks with the manual inflation.

Micro 170N Automatic - Very comfortable to wear

Glad to have come across the Micro 170N. With its minimal, light and comfortable fit, I almost forgot wearing it. Bought two for my wife and myself. Perfect choice for our inshore pleasure motorboating use. Exceptional accommodating personal customer service when I had some questions regarding trade and shipping to my country Norway. I strongly recommend the TeamO and their Micro 170N! :)

Awesome!
Super fast shipping from the UK to AUS
