Tuesday 24 September 2019

Equiom has appointed super yacht industry expert, Chris Stokes who aims to raise the profile of the Channel Islands as a hub for expertise in yachting services.

Mr Stokes brings more than 18 years' experience in the maritime industry, having worked with high net worth individuals, high profile figures and multiple organisations within the industry.

With responsibility for the strategic global growth of Equiom's portfolio of yachting services, Mr Stokes will manage relationships with industry partners and potential clients while also supporting Equiom's overall yachting strategy.

He specialises in sales, marketing, events and strategy and has worked in a variety of senior roles across four continents, including CEO of a global yacht brokerage firm. Mr Stokes is a graduate of Middlesex University in Dubai and is also an active member of various international marine industry associations.

"It is fantastic to have Chris on the team," said Head of Equiom Private office, Richard Tribe. "His extensive experience and ability to identify new opportunities in the maritime industry will contribute significantly to consolidating our position as a global leader in yacht services. I am pleased to welcome Chris and look forward to working with him to grow our yachting business."

Mr Stokes added:

"I feel privileged to be working for a global firm with the in-depth knowledge required to fully support the super yacht industry. With the backing of a brilliant team and access to technical knowledge across the globe, I have the perfect platform from which to further develop Equiom's yachting business.

"I have a real passion for yachting and I am looking forward to working with the team to boost Equiom's visibility in the industry."

Mr Stokes will be at the Monaco Yacht Show with the rest of the company's yachting team later this week.
