Robert is the owner and Managing Director of Aqueduct Marina, an inland marina and boatyard in Cheshire, England and is also the British Marine President. Robert succeeds the MIA’s representative Bruce Birtwistle CMP, whose tenure as Chair has seen the GMI further expand its global reach and continue to set the benchmark for marina training standards. The GMI Board extends its gratitude to Bruce for his dedication and leadership. On handing over the reins to Robert, Bruce commented, “I wish Robert all the best as Chair, he is very well equipped to take on this role. I will remain on the Steering Group and look forward to continuing to support the GMI.

Attending the Advanced Marina Managers course and becoming a Certified Marina Manager shortly afterwards was one of my best development experiences that continues to help me in my marina management. Going forward, I believe the network of CMMs, CMPs and CMOs around the world has huge knowledge and experience that can be tapped into.
