Geoff and Kelly Duffelen have taken over the successful Boatshed Brixham office and have moved their family from leafy Berkshire to deepest Devon to follow their dreams of working near the sea. Geoff was in the Royal Navy for some years and grew up in Falmouth so has the sea in his blood. After several years working in the marine industry, he moved to work as a sales executive for an office equipment firm rising to the position of Director after leading a management buyout. But the lure of the ocean was too much and so, after some detailed research, he and Kelly decided that Boatshed Brixham was for them. Kelly's experience is in marketing and media for a leading cosmetics brand so with their business acumen and their overwhelming desire to integrate fully in their new life, Boatshed Brixham looks set to fly. Geoff says, “We were immediately drawn to the Boatshed ideal as it is all about people rather than selling. Anyone connected with boating has a passion and not just a hobby and it is our intention to make sure that both buyers and sellers have a smooth and simple relationship with us. Boatshed is one hundred percent transparent and we always show prospective purchasers a 'warts and all' profile of the boat they are interested in. As we are on the Devon coast, we don't want anyone to have a wasted journey so every boat on our books has been personally visited by us.�
