Years in marine industry
G PERRETT
Christchurch,Dorset
Summary
Marine Sales Manager focused on customer satisfaction throughout all stages of sales from the initial enquiry to completion. I have years of product and general marine industry knowledge gained since leaving school back in the 1980's. This proves invaluable in the marine sector as customers want to deal with someone they can trust fully when dealing with there boat and investing in expensive machinery. Communication is paramount between business and customer.
