Boat Showrooms – New Team Member
Boat Showrooms remains busy even during the recent cold, wet and windy last few weeks and months, but with Spring approaching, the Marina is coming alive by the day, with current berth holders and potential clients looking at our boats for sale.
Vaughan Browne has a new understudy within the team, as Mark Pearce has joined to help with our brokerage sales. Mark has been at Harleyford Marina for many years as a broker and more recently Marina manager - many of you may have seen him on trips up to Harleyford to utilise your 7 nights courtesy mooring, which as many will know is located between Marlow and Henley.
If you are considering selling your boat do, please call us on 01932 260261 or email broker@boatshowrooms.com as we are always looking for boats to add to our listings. We are also happy to offer free valuations on your boat if you are thinking of upgrading or selling your boat.
We look forward to seeing you again soon and let’s hope we have a great season boating on the Thames again.
Kind regards,
Lisa Harris
Marina Manager
