It’s a huge honour to be appointed. Having had many owners and managers as clients over the years, I am only too aware of the issues which need to be addressed.
BENJAMIN MALTBY, GENERAL SECRETARY
TRUSTED
PROFESSIONAL
CLUB SECRETARIAT
We considered it important to have a regulated professional managing the Club and organising its affairs. We have therefore appointed an English lawyer as our General Secretary. He is a Partner at a leading international firm, regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority and the London Stock Exchange. Naturally used to maintaining client confidence, he has also provided expertise on the law and practice of yacht ownership to leading publications and broadcasters, including:
Truly
Independent
Leadership
The General Secretary’s role is to operate the Club at a high level, undertake research, provide guidance and draft the documents and agreements essential to yacht acquisition and ownership. Neither the Club nor General Secretary have vested interests in particular third party suppliers. We’re not beholden to particular yachting industry advertisers. So our approach is objective. Our contracts are fair, balanced and conducive to efficient, fuss-free ownership.
