Les Wright - Company Accountant

Having maybe stepped onto a yacht once in his early childhood, Les has very little knowledge about yachts other than that they cost a lot of money to maintain. For what he lacks in seamanship he makes up in his stringent account keeping and advice on taxation law. Having now worked very closely with MYS for several years Les not only knows what a desalination plant is but how a foreign travelling yacht can claim one GST free.

In his late teens, Mike commenced work within the local charter boat industry. After a brief stint in hospitality, Mike realized he needed the water back in his life.
