New role for Raybel founding director

Raybel Charters founding director Gareth Maeer has been appointed to a new volunteer role as the incoming chair of the Maritime Heritage Trust - a position he’ll be undertaking alongside his role at Raybel which will continue.

Welcoming Gareth’s appointment, the outgoing MHT Chair, Henry Cleary, said:

“Historic vessel operation is always a challenge and now we need to link more effectively with coastal communities, the arts and environment. Gareth brings valuable skills and experience in all these areas as well as his time working for the Heritage Fund and other national heritage organisations.

To work well MHT needs to renew itself periodically and we are fortunate to have a younger and more diverse Board. Gareth joining as Chair will complement and strengthen this process at a time when we face some big challenges as well as opportunities.”
