With propulsion innovation at the forefront of the industry's collective mindset, SYT chats to the new Yacht Manager, Chris Warde, of Peninsula, large scale energy supplier to the industry. The company are dedicating themselves to the provision of sustainable solutions to the current climate crisis, and firmly believe that as an industry, we are excellently set to turn the conversation into a reality.
Can you tell me a little bit about your new role as Yacht Manager, and how you got started in this industry?
I have been involved in the marine industry all my professional career, starting in marketing working with leisure marine brands like Sunseeker, Fairline, RNLI and Yamaha. In 2007 I left marketing, moved to Mallorca and started working on yachts. I had a fantastic time and was very lucky to work at some amazing events, but by 2009 I was back in the UK working as a Technical Sales Manager in the Yacht department at Sunseeker International. From there I’ve never looked back and have specialised in superyachts ever since.
