IYC honors brokers at prestigious Broker of the Year Award Ceremony
The winner of IYC Charter Consultant of the Year, Barbara Stork Landeweer is no stranger to success, having won the award three times previously. Highly respected by her peers, Barbara also recently received the IYBA (previously FYBA) Yachting Professional of the Year, an award voted by members of the industry. She is one of the charter industries most well-known and talented brokers, having worked with some of the most decorated and succesful charter yachts including Apoise, Kogo and Moonlight II. Barbara joined IYC in 2003, bringing with her fifteen years of experience, and has been matching IYC charter clients to their perfect yachts ever since. She attributes her success to several factors. The first is to understand what a client needs, sometimes knowing what they want before they know themselves. The second is complete transparency, making sure clients are able to make an informed decision about the best choice of yacht and location. The third is knowing which yachts will suit which clients. To achieve this, Barbara is a regular at all the charter shows, getting to know boat, destination and crew inside out, so that she can match make with owners to create the perfect charter experience – only considering her job done when she has delivered the holiday of a lifetime. Truly passionate about yachting, she spends her free time on the water too, with a favourite destination the Bahamas. This enthusiasm is clearly reflected in her success as a charter consultant, and has resulted in many happy, returning clients. To read interview with Barbara click here.
