Marlow Ropes announce appointment of new UK Leisure Marine Manager

by Emma Donovan 20 Feb 2023 12:00 UTC

Marlow Ropes are delighted to announce the appointment of new Leisure Marine team member Rob Henderson who has joined as UK Leisure Marine Sales Manager. Rob brings plenty of experience in the marine industry having started his career at Lymington Yacht Haven and Lewmar before working at Harken for six years, and more recently, Stones Boatyard in Devon.

"It is exciting to be here at Marlow Ropes. At the time of writing, I've been here five days and have already been impressed with the level of professionalism and skill throughout the place - there is a lot for me to get up to speed with, but the team have been fantastic. As a passionate dinghy and keelboat sailor in my spare time, I'm looking forward to working with Megan and the wider team at Marlow, finding solutions for the water sports community here in the UK."

The arrival of Rob comes after the announcement at the end of last year that the current UK Sales Manager David Mossman has moved over to pick up the Leisure Marine European Distribution business.

Joining Marlow in February means all systems go for the Leisure Marine team with the RYA Dinghy offering a great opportunity for Rob to meet with many of our UK customers and end users. Please come by stand J34 at the Dinghy Show to say hello.

Established over 200 years ago, Marlow Ropes has become one of the leading rope manufacturers within the global Leisure Marine industry and is known for innovation and technical expertise. Understanding the yachting industry and the needs of sailors and riggers from high performance racing through to the everyday cruiser/racer is a crucial part of Marlow's ability to offer innovative products and expert service. This is all thanks to the diverse skillset, experience and passion of its employees.
