New Riv crew in Perth

Sales professional Ben Watkins and office manager Sue Totterdell have joined long-time R Marine Perth owner care manager Tim Wright who has been providing customer support to Perth’s Riviera owners for over five years.

The past few months have been a very busy time for R Marine Perth with Tim moving into a sales role for new Riviera and Belize Motoryachts as well as pre-owned boats. Tim’s strong knowledge of Riviera boats has helped the dealership achieve an impressive number of brokerage sales in the past 12 weeks. Since Tim has moved into sales, R Marine Perth has sold 12 brokerage boats and have generated a high level of new model enquiry with all of this activity, Tim is very happy to welcome Ben Watkins onboard.

"Ben has spent many years in the marine industry in Western Australia and his enthusiasm for Riviera and R Marine Perth is absolutely infectious. He has already listed multiple brokerage boats for the dealership and attended the Sydney International Boat Show where he met many of our owners that had flown to Sydney to view the new 50 Enclosed Flybridge and 565 SUV among Riviera’s and Belize’s exciting new models,” Tim said.

“Ben brings a wealth of nautical experience to R Marine Perth, including eight months aboard a 60 foot motor vessel on the French Riviera, skippering, navigating, experience in boat sales, marketing, branding and he holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree.”

Ben said his previous experience had given him a great insight into the broader marine industry.

"I have gained a detailed understanding of the local marine industry through working as a boat broker, which has allowed me to build a significant network of clients,” Ben said.

Tim said Sue Totterdell was also a welcome addition to the dealership and her expertise in office management would be a great asset to the growing team.

"Sue has a very professional approach to her work and will make this dealership a seamless operation for both our team and our owners," Tim said.

Riviera CEO Wes Moxey said Riviera Australia was very focused on growing owner support in Western Australia through two dealership locations, Perth and Mandurah.

“While a new team marks a fresh change, there are many aspects to the dealership that will not change. R Marine’s first class Rottnest Support owner care program, Priority Assist, will continue as normal providing absolute peace of mind to our valued owners in Perth," said Mr Moxey.

“Over the next few months we hope to make a few more exciting announcements regarding our plans for R Marine Perth’s boat owners.”
