About Gavin Walrond

I have developed a proven network of collaborators. My role requires the ability to quickly gain a clients trust and liaise directly with high-net worth clients. The role requires a strong focus on building trust and collaboration, excellent customer service and team-work. With 20 plus years of yacht brokerage sales experience in the marine industry, I have built my reputation on trust, delivering results through excellent customer service, I have delivered consistent results during an ever-changing business and economic environment. I have consistently exceeded my business targets, achieving over €3.5 million per annum in new and brokerage sales for the last five years selling off our pre-owned charter yachts from the charter fleets of Sunsail and The Moorings. My biggest achievement was selling over €4.4m within a single season (2019-20), achieving top sales with 41 and 67 units sold in a calendar year. I have sold both new (charter management program), as well as Leopard Catamarans (new private sales) as well as 451 pre-owned yachts on brokerage over the last 18 years. Working from home requires a degree competency in administration and day to day tasks including Outlook, Excel, CRM (Hubspot) and Microsoft Teams and ability to prioritise, plan and manage my time accordingly. I have always taken great pride in delivering exceptional service to my clients as confirmed via the recommendations section within LinkedIn.My new role will be representing respected yacht brands and growing portfolio of premium international and local brokerage listings.The last 20+ years has provided me with all the essential and desirable skills criteria that any future employer/ business partner might be looking for.
