Potential
Growth opportunity in both commercial and particularly online sales, which currently only account for less than 5% of turnover. Our website only currently carries a selection of our clothing brands and none of our general chandlery items, so just changing this would present a big growth opportunity.
Skills
Would suit anyone with good people / sales skills. Knowledge of yachts / boats helpful but not fundamental.
