Simon Eklund has been recruited as the new head of Aftermarket & Brokerage. This means that Simon will lead the company’s aftermarket team and brokerage operation.
“We are incredibly happy to have Simon on board. Simon is vital to our effort to refine our service portfolio and one of Simon’s main tasks will be to develop our global after sales offering. It is also a necessary recruitment as our business grows,” says Fredrik Malmqvist, CEO of Arcona Yachts.
Simon has a long and solid background in the boat industry. He has run Ellen Yachting, a full-service shipyard that has delivered new imported boats from all major European manufacturers. During its record year, Ellen Yachting delivered 64 new boats. Since then, the focus has been on boat sales, service, and winter storage. The company has delivered a total of over 500 new boats to Swedish families.
“I am really looking forward to developing the business and becoming part of a strong and competent team. Together, we will take the company’s service offering to the next level, matching that of the quality of yachts we produce,” says Simon Eklund.
