Meet Nathan; Our New Brand Ambassador for the Côte d'Azur

 

We have a new member of the team. Meet Nathan, our newest member of the team and our new Brand Ambassador for the Côte d'Azur. We’ve been waiting to recruit brand ambassadors in key locations across Europe for a while bringing on Nathan to the team will mean we’re able to support our local customers, visiting superyachts and local chandleries much better. 

Nathan is ex yacht crew and still works within the industry doing day work, deliveries and brand ambassadorship for us part time.

As part of his new role, Nathan, will be advising customers and superyacht crew how to get the best out of our products, while better looking after the environment. If you’re based in Antibes you may have already bumped into Nathan on the dock where he’ll be hanging out and advocating all things environmentally friendly.
