Steve has valuable experience in understanding the requirements of Fairline's varied global customer base, drawing on his knowledge managing hundreds of high-profile customer yacht handovers.

Commenting on his new position, Steve says, "I feel privileged to join the Fairline team as Sales Manager for the Americas. I have great aspirations for developing the brand's dealer network across the region and am looking forward to achieving sustainable sales growth and exploring new opportunities in both the established and emerging boating markets."

Steve will be responsible for sales and delivery of boats across Canada, North America and South America, and will work alongside the already well-established dealer network to support their activity.
