Experience

William Hackett Chain Products Ltd

• Busniess Development Manager

  • Mar 2015 - Present

  I joined William Hackett in February 2015 having previously established and sold a very successful marine paints and coatings business. I have spent over 10 years working in sales and marketing roles within the marine and leisure industry having built up a knowledgeable understanding of the industry across the UK, where I established successful and enjoyable relationships with a large number of clients. I’m responsible for growing sales of commercial low grade chain and mooring chain assemblies around the UK. I very much enjoy my role dealing with many Harbour Masters, Moorings Contractors, Yacht Clubs and OEMS along with the challenges of developing new business opportunities. I have been involved in sailing most of my life with a passion for racing and when not working I enjoy sailing my restored classic Contessa 26 "Little Corinna" and also being part of a very successful race team aboard “Jumbuck” a J109 taking part in a number of JOG and RORC races including the Fastnet.
