We are proud to welcome Ryan onboard who has recently been appointed as Sales and Marketing Manager covering the dealership locations of Victoria and NSW.
Ryan brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with him having worked in the marine industry for 16 years. He began selling watersports equipment in his school holidays when he was 13 and then secured an apprenticeship as a marine mechanic which he completed at 19. Ryan then moved into sales and marketing firstly coordinating and organising industry leading owners on-water reunions and has experience in selling and delivering small runabouts, watersports boats and sports cruisers. Most recently he specialised in managing sales and handovers for a large Gold Coast dealership for Malibu and a prominent US offshore brand.
At 28 years old, Ryan is passionate about boating himself with most of his weekends spent out on the water or boat racing. He was brought up in the world of boating as his parents were heavily involved with marine. "It has always been in my blood and I love everything to do with boating and being in the water. Also the life style that boating can offer is unmatched for a work place environment."
Ryan is excited to represent the brands of Cobalt Boats Australia, Pursuit Boats Australia, Clipper Motor Yachts and Bennington Pontoon Boats Australia. "Having been in the marine industry for a while now the brands have always stood out to me as having absolute top quality in all of their fields. When the opportunity presented itself for me to jump on board I was excited for the future and growth these brands are gaining in Australia."
"I have watched Ryan grow from working with my close friend, Daniel Watkins, and had always hoped he would grow in experience to join us. I can honestly say for years now I wanted him to work with us and be part of my business. "He is an exceptional young man with a huge future but more importantly our existing owners and prospective new owners will benefit enormously from Ryan being part of their experience before and after the sale," said Brett Thurley.
Ryan can't wait to meet all existing owners and looks forward to acquiring new owners to share on water experiences with. Ryan has moved to Sydney joining Mike Cruz at the Sydney Boat House office and will be passing between our NSW and VIC dealerships.
