| About Merry Marine |
|
Merry Marine was established in 2005 by Bill and Wendy Merry and after a couple of successful years, incorporated as a Limited Company in 2008. We provide leadership, team and other corporate development services. We specialise in using offshore sailing as a real and challenging environment to reinforce concepts in leadership and management and provide a unique opportunity for building relationships.
Other 'Experiential' Learning Events
We also take the activity-based learning concept into other environments, providing memorable and highly effective development activities on land. Many of our land-based events are based on our highly successful Flashlight Challenge® activity and can be an alternative to sailing where there may be issues around location or availability of time. |

Coaching, facilitation and other training services
Merry Marine have a wealth of experience in leadership coaching, personal development coaching, facilitation and a comprehensive range of training services..
Sail Training
Many clients taking part in our development events 'get the bug' for sailing and want to learn more. In conjunction with an RYA approved sea school, Bill and our other skippers deliver the occasional 'bespoke' Competent Crew and Day Skipper training course. Other training services and advice can be provided on request. |

The Merry Marine Associate Network
Our ability to provide both breadth and depth of expertise relies on a network of associates who are leaders in their field. They all run or work within successful businesses in their own right and we are proud to be able to call upon their expertise to make sure we deliver the highest quality of development programme.
If we were to wrap all their talents into one person, that person would be a seasoned corporate leader, a chartered psychologist and an ocean racing yachtsman. They would have climbed Mount Everest and be a Jumbo Jet pilot. They would write books, have been a teacher and be a ski instructor. They would lead multi-national teams, have played football for Nottingham Forest and have sailed across the Atlantic. They would be a seasoned trainer and facilitator, have run marathons and would have seen action in war zones. They would also develop top teams and have completed a triathlon. They'd be an executive coach, talented musician, have played rugby for England and more...
