Sealine makes key appointments

William Griffiths has been named managing director while James Bursey takes role of executive vice chairman.

Sealine International has appointed William Griffiths as its new managing director and a member of its board of directors.

Griffiths has over 35 years of operations management experience in manufacturing on a global basis.

In addition, James Bursey, who has overseen the running of Sealine International since the company’s acquisition by the Oxford Investment Group Inc, has been appointed executive vice chairman.

Rex Schlaybaugh, Sealine chairman, says: “We are very excited about the strategies we have outlined at Sealine since the acquisition. Our aim is to expand the business and develop new markets for the Sealine range of motorboats.”

Oxford Investment Group acquired Sealine International in September 2011. The UK-based boatbuilder is to be the platform that the firm will use to acquire other boat and marine manufacturing assets to enhance its marine portfolio of companies.
