14-12-2007: Rodman announces change in distribution for its Flybridge Yachts range in the UK

Hugh Rayner, currently Rodman Brand Manager at Ancasta, will join Sea Ventures to maintain the continuity of service for the Spanish leading marque. This change, made by mutual agreement, is in line with Rodman’s strategy for the UK market and is the best solution to both companies in relation to their corporate policies and for the benefit of their clients.

In order to ensure a smooth handover, customers who have bought a new Rodman Muse flybridge yacht through Ancasta will continue to be serviced by Ancasta in respect of warranty issues, while all other spare parts supplies and servicing will be handled by Sea Ventures, which is based at Lymington in Hampshire.

Rodman would like to thank Ancasta for their professional support and success during the past years with the Rodman Yacht and Rodman Muse ranges.
