Northrop & Johnson appoints new crew services manager

Luxury yacht brokerage Northrop & Johnson has appointed Louisa Gallimore as crew services manager for Europe. Gallimore will be based in N&J’s Antibes office, in the heart of the South of France’s vibrant yachting scene.

Gallimore began her professional career in investment banking and financial PR in London. She also worked in Sydney, Australia, before moving to France in 2004, at which time she began working in the maritime industry specialising in the recruitment of superyacht crew. For almost two decades, Gallimore has helped to match crew with teams aboard yachts throughout Europe and beyond.

“As we continue our expansion throughout Europe, we are excited to be broadening the crew services division as well as our other services,” says Northrop & Johnson president & COO Daniel Ziriakus. “With Louisa heading up the team on the ground in Europe, we look forward to opening the doors of our Antibes office to captains and owners looking for hire crewmembers and crew looking for their ideal team to work with aboard luxury yachts as well as expanding our own crew services team in Europe.

“Under the guidance of our Crew Services Director Marcy Williams, who is based in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, office, we look forward to offering crew services to all who need it no matter which port they are based in around the world.”

Earlier this year, MIN reported that Northrop & Johnson had appointed Sacha Williams as global charter marketing director.
