Phil said, "I was immediately attracted to Barton Marine as the position combines my love of being out on the water with engineering. I have received a very warm welcome from everyone here and it is great to work in a business which is ready to take on any challenge to deliver products which meet customer's needs. I am looking forward to getting to grips with the job at hand."

Discussing the appointment, Suzanne Blaustone, Barton Marine Chief Executive Officer said, "It was immediately apparent that Phil would be the perfect fit to help us push our exciting plans for the future forward.
