In November 2019, Ross Carson landed the demanding role of charter broker at Cecil Wright & Partners, and then the pandemic struck. Charter sales around the world abruptly stopped as travel restrictions ramped up to unprecedented heights. Ross, a well-seasoned voyager, took on the challenge with relish.
Ross Carson’s entry into Cecil Wright came by way of a friendly introduction, but his passion for all things yachtie began long before. Hot, dreamy days spent holidaying in the south of France and Greece as a young boy triggered an appetite for being out on the water, and his love of yachting has endured ever since. He cut his broker’s teeth at a competing firm prior to moving to Cecil Wright, but his appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship came from his time as business development manager at bespoke tailoring outfit Huntsman on Savile Row.
Ross admits he’s still the “greenhorn” of the company, but his colleagues provide advice when he needs it and he remains optimistic in a Covid-19 era. “The uncertainty around travel has made clients cautious before committing to bookings, but we are advising them to travel to a list of ‘safe haven’ destinations and continue to deliver a service that is beyond their expectations.”
