Tristan Rowe has been appointed as Falmouth Harbour’s new head of commercial operations.
In his role, Tristan will focus on longer term growth for Falmouth Harbour, working with CEO Miles Carden to generate new, profitable and innovative business streams and projects.
In addition to this role, he is also tasked with improving customer services and the wider range of harbour services.
“It will be fantastic to welcome Tristan Rowe to our incredible team at Falmouth Harbour,” said Miles. “We are at a pivotal stage in our growth plan and from 2025 we want to move and accelerate our plans to improve our offer to customers and realise the potential from new marine technologies.
“We still have challenges ahead, but Tristan’s marine business experience will be key to our success, and we are all very much looking forward to working with him.”
Tristan’s career includes 20 years working on the after-sales and commercial operations of Cockwells Boatbuilding in Mylor, Falmouth’s Pendennis Shipyard and MacGregor Yachts International.
He is a keen sailor and harbour user.
“I’ve had the incredible good fortune to have grown up, lived and worked on and around Falmouth Harbour – one of the all-round best harbours in the world – for most of my life,” he said. “I am so very excited to join the Falmouth Harbour team in a role that supports, promotes and grows the vast potential we have here.”
Tristan takes up the commercial operations role inaugurated by Holly Manvell, who, after a hand-over period, is stepping aside to further her trustee roles and grow the global not-for-profit organisations she founded during the last four years; Clean Sailors, the Clean Sailors Youth Racing Team and the international platform for end-of-life marine materials, ReSail.
