Before MDL, he managed and worked at other marinas on the Thames, and had previously been heavily involved in other areas of the business, including boat sales and lifting. Previous to this John served in the Royal Navy for five years where he travelled the world and gained his sea legs, but these days is more at home on the river, which he's very passionate about.
