With dual French and Canadian nationality, Laurie has balanced a rewarding 20-year career in the yachting industry with raising three children. Her organisational skills, patience, and efficiency have become second nature, making her a trusted figure in both the professional and personal aspects of her work.

Before joining Bluewater, Laurie spent eight years as a travel agent specialising in seaman’s fares, helping countless crew members get to their yachts. She later worked as Warranty and After-Sales Manager for a well-known yacht dealer, further deepening her expertise in the industry.

Nine years ago, Laurie brought her extensive knowledge and passion for yachting to Bluewater, where she became an invaluable member of the crew recruitment team. With a personal approach and deep empathy for both clients and candidates, she played a key role in the company’s success, ensuring the best placements for crew and seamless experiences for yacht owners.

Now, as Crew Quality Manager, Laurie ensures the highest standards of professionalism and service within the department, focusing on both crew placement and compliance with industry regulations. Her commitment to maintaining the Bluewater standard of excellence keeps operations running smoothly for all involved.

While she has stepped back from the frontlines, Laurie continues to nurture the relationships she has built over the years, staying in touch with the crew members she has helped along the way. Her passion for their careers remains unwavering as she supports their continued growth and success in the industry.

Laurie’s holistic understanding of the yachting world and her dedication to both clients and crew make her a true asset to the Bluewater family.
