Emma has been sailing her whole life and started her career in the marine industry in 2011. Joining Pantaenius in 2013, she is now a key member of the Pantaenius Client Hub Team. As well as advising clients, she is often one of the friendly Pantaenius faces you will see on our stand at boat show exhibitions. In her own time, Emma loves the great outdoors and loves nothing more than walking the dog and riding her horse across Dartmoor. She still enjoys sailing, even if it is a little more relaxing these days, in warmer climates and essentially with refreshments at the journey’s end.
