Suzanne – Relief Marina Assistant

Suzanne joined us in March 2019 having relocated from Wiltshire. She works part time and has a background in retail and hospitality. After working in a large, national retail outlet, she was attracted to the marina because it was a family run business and located in the stunning Cheshire countryside, which was the icing on the cake…and, coincidentally, she does make wonderful cakes herself. When not baking cakes for the staff, Suzanne enjoys time with her family and craft projects.

Andy – Brokerage Sales Manager

Andy joined the team in 2015 having run his own business for over 20 years before selling and moving to the North Wales coast. It was in Wales that he learnt to sail and eventually bought a 33ft yacht to sail to such places as The Scillies and France. It was during this period that Andy became a yacht broker for a renowned company in Wales selling both yachts and motor boats. Andy and his wife relocated to Cheshire to be nearer their grandchildren.
