You’ll find a friendly and knowledgeable team ready to help you make the most of your time at Premier’s Brighton Marina.
Max Sinclair
Marina Manager
Having joined the team in 2018, Max has continued to develop his knowledge and experience, progressing through roles as Duty Manager, Assistant Manager and now Marina Manager. Max originally started working in the marine industry 21 years ago before changing career paths to pursue a degree in social work and working for several years as a manager in children’s social care, gaining valuable experience that has shaped his approach to leadership today. Outside of work, Max is the proud owner of a 50’ ketch which he refitted himself and spends time sailing and maintaining with his family.
Chris Mead
Duty Manager
Chris started his professional journey with Premier in 2015 as a Berthing Master before moving to work in the boatyards at Brighton and Sovereign Harbour where he also covered the Duty Manager role before returning to Brighton.
Daniel Thomas-Fitzpatrick
Boatyard Foreman
With over a decade of experience at Brighton, Dan has undertaken numerous roles over the years. He is also the marina’s Health and Safety representative. He had no experience with boats before joining Premier, so he had to learn fast.

Hamish joined the Premier Marinas team as a Berthing Master in 2017, taking on additional responsibility as Relief Berthing Master in 2020 before becoming Duty Manager in 2025. He enjoys helping the Berthing Master with their roles and taking a lead on vessel movements for projects at Brighton.
