The brand and the amazing sales talent behind it sells more yachts above 24 metres than any other brokerage house in the world. More owners contract Fraser to sell their yachts than any other company. Its management division manages over 75 yachts, a number of whose owners have steadfastly relied on Fraser expertise, networks and knowhow for over 10 years. The group manages some of the most successful charter yachts in the world, placing almost a quarter of all business inhouse and it places captains and crew that stay on the cream of the industry's fleet. My job is to help ensure we stay in this privileged and hardfought position of being the world's number one provider. Raphael Sauleau, Roberto Giorgio and all the team behind the success of Fraser today understand that in business, it is not what gets you there, that keeps you there. I am very proud, and privileged, to have been welcomed into the worldwide family of Fraser, taking an honoured place alongside some of the hardest working, most sincere and committed professionals in the business.
