You operate marinas and work as consultants. How can I be sure there is no conflict of interest and that you will give me unbiased advice?.

In practice, there are very few instances where conflicts of interest could occur. But you can rely on us to work professionally and give honest unbiased advice. If we do see a conflict of interest of any kind, we’ll tell you about it and, if necessary, respectfully decline opportunities. We are always happy to advise clients where there is no direct competition, for example marinas operating in a different geographical location to our marinas or operating in a different market. We are also keen to talk to other operators where there might be an opportunity for collaboration.
