Marina Projects Ltd, a specialist marina consultancy group, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lucy Thomson as Group Marketing Manager. Lucy joined the Marina Projects team at the start of September following a period of sustained growth. Lucy’s role will include marketing and PR across the group including the worldwide marina and waterfront consultancy business and UK operations.
Lucy is no stranger to the marine industry, joining the Marina Projects team from Camper & Nicholsons Marinas where she held the position of PR & Marketing Manager. Prior to that, her marine sector marketing career began with one of the largest UK marina operators, Premier Marinas. A keen sailor, Lucy is familiar with marina operations from both the consumer and operator perspective, and is delighted to be working in the industry that is also her passion.
Lucy added, “I am pleased to be joining the experienced team at Marina Projects and am looking forward to raising the profile of the marina consultancy services offered by the company as well as enhancing the brands of the operating companies; including Endeavour Quay in Gosport, Hampshire and Whitehaven Marina in the north west.”
Marina Projects also recently appointed David Holifield, as a Project Manager with the consultancy team. David has been directly involved with marina developments for over 25 years and has a sound and broad based knowledge of marina operations. A civil engineer by profession with extensive experience in marine related design and construction works, David joins us following his role with South East England Development Agency (SEEDA). His initial focus will be to provide project management and contract administration support to the second phase of the Porto Montenegro Marina Scheme.
Geoff Phillips, Director of Marina Projects commented, “These are key appointments for Marina Projects and I am confident that Lucy and David will make a real and valuable contribution as we continue to expand our marina consultancy activities.”
