West Coast of Scotland-based marina, boatyard and chandlers Ardfern Yacht Centre will see a change of management this autumn.
Following the retirement of David and Lynn Wilkie in September 2009 after 25 years in the business, the firm’s current workshop manager, Mark Cameron will take up the post of general manager from October 1.
Along with a degree in Yacht Manufacture and Surveying gained from the Southamption Institute, Mark Cameron has an extensive background working in the small leisure craft industry, and has worked at Ardfern since August 2002. A keen sailor, he has raced aboard various yachts on the Clyde and west coast; most recently aboard ‘Sorr of Appin’ with other family members.
“We are delighted to be promoting Mark Cameron to the position of general manager. He has both the practical background and technical experience to build on the great success that David and Lynn Wilkie have achieved over many years at Ardfern,” said AYC directors, Joanna Ashton and Nick Baker, whose family have owned the business since 1979.
Mark Cameron added: “David and Lynn Wilkie have made an excellent job of developing Ardfern Yacht Centre over the last 25 years. I look forward to working with the directors and staff in driving the company forward in the future; continuing to build on our reputation for high quality and reliable service.”
Marine surveyor, Bob Fleck, has been appointed as workshop manager, while the firm is now actively seeking to recruit a new chandlery manager.
