The Lowestoft office has employed two new salespeople, as well as a sales administrator previously employed by Fox’s.

‘This is an exciting new venture for our family business which has seen Burton Waters grow over the past five years into one of the most reputed boat dealerships in the country, now employing over 30 staff across our three offices,’ said Adam Cox, Burton Waters Marina’s sales director.

Burton Waters Marina opened its first sales office in Lincoln in 2001, followed by another sales office in Southampton in 2006.

‘We offer a vast range of boats and we are dealers for Westwood and Sealine models,’ said a spokesman. ‘We are also looking for a new dealership on sailing boats – full details will be announced shortly.’
