We’re working with a fantastic south coast marina and boatyard facility based in West Sussex who are looking for such a profile to join them in the role of business leader. With around 100 marina berths and 180 hard standing, an on site catering facility, commercial units and more the facility has seen steady growth under its current owner over the last 15 years. However with the longstanding individual in post moving on, they now seek a new candidate to take the helm of this busy site. 

Reporting into the COO, this is a hugely autonomous role with a direct team of 6. A role that is both hands on and managerial, you’ll be given the chance to lead the business as you see fit and contribute to its continued growth and success, rewarded well in return. Duties will include:

The role is a huge opportunity for an ambitious candidate keen to take on a challenging new role and creating something of their own, but with the support of a very entrepreneurial group owner. 

In a candidate we seek someone with a love of the boating world. A moderate technical understanding will be key when working with contractors, tennants and bertholders as will great customer service skills and an eye for commercial revenues.
