About me

I founded Morris Marine after stepping down from my role as Sales and Marketing Director at HPi Verification Ltd, a UK and European Notified Body.
With 36 years in the marine industry, and a great deal of hard-earned knowledge and experience, full retirement simply didn’t feel like the right fit.
I’m still very active, so the decision to continue working was an easy one—albeit at a slightly slower pace than before.

"I’m passionate about boat compliance and the importance of a level playing field…to ensure consistent safety standards."

I’m passionate about boat compliance and the importance of a level playing field.
When every boat builder—wherever they are in the world—must meet the same requirements to sell into the UK or European markets, it helps ensure consistent safety standards and greater confidence in the vessel.
That reassurance benefits not only the first owner, but also future owners throughout the boat’s life.

I learned to waterski at 14, and I was just as thrilled to be in the boat as I was being towed behind it. That early experience sparked a lifelong love of boating.
In the late 1980s, I worked hard to turn that passion into a career, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed every minute of the last 36 years in the marine industry.
In 1993, while on honeymoon in the Maldives, I learned to scuba dive—and my passion for being on the water naturally expanded to enjoying the world beneath it, too.
My happy place has always been on a boat, or under the water.
