Navico has appointed two highly-experienced people to key sales roles with a focus on growing the Northstar and Simrad brands in Australia.
As Northstar/Simrad regional sales managers, Kenneth Thompson and Stuart Graham will work towards setting-up a strong technical dealer channel to support the brands and establish solid relationships with boat builders.
Thompson, having previously worked for Pacific Marine and Quin Marine, recently relocated to the Gold Coast from Adelaide to take up his new position based at Navico’s Southport sales office.
Graham is ex-Raymarine and has commenced at Navico’s Sydney-based headquarters this month.
With pending Australian launches of the Simrad GB40, IS20, NX40 and NX45, along with a host of Northstar products, both said they were looking forward to the challenge of taking the brands to the next level.
