The Berthon Book

The Berthon Book 2024-2025 XX (28.2MB)

For each new Berthon Book – and this will be the twentieth edition, we start with a blank sheet of paper to which we add a list of things that we think are super interesting that we would like to read about. Once this is done, there is a lot of head scratching throughout the Berthon Team as we think about who might be able to help us with the chosen subjects. From that humble sheet of paper, each year, the Berthon Book is born, and it is exactly the same for the 2024/25 Book. We have loved putting together these original articles that you will find between the covers with help from Berthon clients and supporters. You will also discover the Berthon fleet both new and pre-owned featured within its pages. Available in hard and soft copy, we also continue to develop the interactive look and feel of the Berthon Book online, so we hope that you will dive in and enjoy, whatever the medium that you choose.
