Thunderbolt Marine says farewell to Sales Manager Page Hanson who has plans to marry this fall, welcoming Judy Salzman aboard as executive assistant to the President charged with project coordination. In addition to these changes, groundbreaking plans for the construction of a new repair building at the end of this year reflect the dynamic improvements slated to better serve our clients.
Page has been a valuable contributor in the development of TMI as a desirable destination for quality yacht service work along the East coast of the United States. Joining TMI in 2004, she was an instrumental team member whose extraordinary work ethic and pervasive industry presence blended ideally with the firm's mission to pursue a resource driven approach to attracting yachts to the Savannah site. The conscious decision to avoid advertising and intense sales and focus instead on developing a highly satisfied repeat clientele based on excellent performance, referrals, and word of mouth has served the company well. This successful formula has repeat customers like Timoneer, Huntress, Kanaloa, and Lady Ann Magee returning to the TMI yard season after season for service and maintenance work.
TMI anticipates a seamless transition with the internal promotion of our dedicated employee and experienced industry professional Judy Salzman. Judy's background as yacht crew, yacht manager, and refit project manager contributes to the TMI team a broad spectrum of expertise required to meet the demand for complex projects and discerning yachts. A significant aspect of Judy's new role will be coordinating the handling of service inquiries and work order proposals in conjunction with our VP of Business Development, Palm Beach based, Michael Bach.
The recent completion of office renovations and the redesign of the street entrance will make way for the ground breaking of the shed expansion at the end of the year. The new shed will be 95' high and 245' long increasing the capacity for vessels with significant air draft to be undercover for projects that are weather sensitive and will include a dedicated spray paint booth.
Thunderbolt Marine is a comprehensive full service repair and refit. Serving vessels up to 180 feet TMI has hauling capabilities of 150 tons by Travelift and 1,150 tons by Syncrolift. No overhead height restrictions make TMI an easy approach by sea
