Marina Projects appoints new commercial director

Marina consultancy Marina Projects Ltd has announced Simon Goodhead will be joining the board as commercial director.

The company says Goodhead’s appointment recognises his contribution to the consultancy over the past decade, the immediate business requirements and specifically the skills and experience that he can bring to the role. 

With operational experience in the marine leisure industry from managing charter yachts, Goodhead joined Marina Projects in 2011 and during his tenure has provided specialist marina consultancy to national and international clients, from both private and commercial organisations as well as government bodies.

“Following a review of the business strategy and the companies needs we are delighted to have Simon join the board of Marina Projects, he brings a wealth of knowledge, an eye for detail and commercial strengths that are a perfect fit for our needs as we drive the business onwards,” says Mike Ward, Marina Projects managing director. “

“Furthermore, this is fitting recognition for his positive approach, passion for the business, and the very significant contribution he has made to the development of our consultancy business, particularly in the last five years.”   

Goodhead comments: “It has been an exciting period at Marina Projects, we have recently relocated our UK office to a larger premises and expanded the team in response to an ever-increasing portfolio of national and international projects. The business continues to go from strength to strength and I’m pleased to play my part in its growth and development.  I am very grateful for the opportunity to join the Marina Projects Board of Directors and looking forward to my increased role and the future ahead.”

Earlier this year (April 2023), Marina Projects announced it had expanded its team with four new appointments across the business.
