Operations Executive (Skippers)
Anna (otherwise known as Mumbles) studied Event Management in the nautical town of Plymouth.
Starting as a QD intern during a very busy & challenging Summer, Anna quickly became a crucial part of the team. Having joined Quarterdeck full-time as Operations Support Executive she now focuses on the coordination of skippers.
Operations Executive (Hosts)
Amelia's passion for the sea and snow make her the perfect fit for Quarterdeck. Having grown up near the water and on the slopes, she echos the spit of The Yacht Week and The Ski Week.
With a Degree in Business and Management along with experience in the Chalet Host industry, it was only natural that Amelia would take on the coordination of Hosts for Quarterdeck.
