“It’s a great privilege to be asked to set up IYC London with Richard Gray.  Richard and I used to work on charters together back in his days at superyachts.com so I already know we work well together.  Having quietly observed IYC’s approach and growth over the years I’ve been so impressed.  And I’ve always enjoyed working with IYC’s fantastic Charter Management Team so this feels like a great fit - as well as being a huge opportunity.”
