Fairline Yachts are pleased to announce the appointment of James Powell as Sales Director.

Bringing more than 35 years of experience to the role, James is a welcome return to Fairline, having sold his first Fairline at the Southampton Boat Show back in 1984 and worked for the brand for several decades since. Most recently, James has been running sales operations at Princess Poole.

In his new role, James will be responsible for managing and developing the brand’s global dealer network and developing the sales pipelines around the world. He has invaluable experience and understanding of the brand, the sales network and the leisure marine industry and is an important addition to the senior management team at Fairline.
