“My interest in sailing introduced me to the Reeds Almanac many years ago,” said John, “I am now looking forward to working on the online version of this well-established brand. Online technology is playing an increasingly bigger part in the marine world and for the Almanac to be available online seems entirely appropriate.”
Managing Director, Simon Whittley said “There aren’t too many people in the marine sector that don’t know John personally and we are delighted to welcome him to the team, his communication skills and knowledge of the industry will be invaluable to further developing the business.”
The Reeds Nautical Online Almanac edition is due to be launched in August 2008.
