Tom brings with him a wealth of Fairline experience from his previous role as Sales Manager at Fairline Southampton. Tom attended the Tullett Prebon London Boat Show in January, before moving to be based in Hong Kong.
Tom comments: “I’m very much looking forward to working closely with Fairline dealers across Australasia. By being based in Hong Kong I will be able to offer real time support to the dealer network, and improve yet further our renowned dealer and customer service.”
Bryan Jones, Head of Sales for Australasia and the Americas, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tom on board. The appointment concludes our reorganisation of the Yacht Division at Fairline with in-market manufacturer support for the Americas, Australasia and Europe; an industry first. Tom will be a great asset to the team and we are confident that 2013 will see even more dealerships join the Fairline marque seeking to represent one of the world’s leading luxury motor yacht brands.”
The Fairline Yacht Division is a team of experienced yachting professionals who support customers purchasing the Fairline Squadron 65 and 78 CUSTOM (example is charter yacht XKE). The team, which now has six dedicated members, works closely with the design and production teams, and with Fairline’s dealerships, delivering yachts that are uniquely tailored for each customer.
