Next up in our Plymouth team introductions is Ian, our Service Administrator at Darthaven Services Plymouth.
Boats and the sea have been part of Ian's life for as long as he can remember. Growing up in Cremyll, just a stone's throw from Mashfords Boat Yard, his earliest memories include fishing by the water and even crossing paths with famed sailor Sir Francis Chichester, with Gypsy Moth IV moored nearby on the river.
Before joining Darthaven in March 2025, Ian spent 10 years with Princess Yachts and has enjoyed plenty of adventures on the water himself, from sailing the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to solo sailing a catamaran in the Gulf of Thailand.
As Service Administrator, Ian is often the link between our customers and engineering team, coordinating servicing and repairs, keeping customers informed and helping ensure work is completed smoothly and efficiently.
When asked what makes Darthaven special, Ian's answer was simple:
"I have said more than once that I wished I had started working here 30 years ago."
Keep an eye out over the coming weeks as we introduce more of the team behind Darthaven Services Plymouth.
