UK restructure for SeaDream
SeaDream Yacht Club UK has brought its charter and incentive sales into its UK sales team as part of a restructure.
As a result of the move, Graham Andrew has left SeaDream after a one-year consultancy role.
Managing director Andy Magowan said: "As part of SeaDream’s ongoing UK restructure, charter and incentive business continues to be a key focus.
"Bespoke ‘milestone’ and/or ‘private celebration’ exclusive vessel charters are on the increase and many of our trade partners have these potential guests.
“As such, responsibility for sourcing this business will be incorporated into the roles of the expanding trade-facing UK sales team."
He said UK sales for 2014 are over 50% up compared to this time last year.
This summer sees SeaDream operating its first ever cruise from the UK – a 14-night Baltic Capitals voyage departing on 16 August sailing round-trip from Dover.
"I look forward to making further announcements regarding the UK sales team in the very near future,” added Magowan.
