Chief Executive Andrea Frabetti acknowledged the seriousness of the decision, expressing empathy for those who may be affected. He reaffirmed the company’s ongoing commitment to its manufacturing bases in Poole and Portland, emphasizing their importance to Sunseeker’s operational future. “This restructure is about ensuring we are best equipped to meet future challenges and opportunities,” said Frabetti. “We will approach the consultation process with transparency and support for our employees.” Sunseeker CEO Andrea Frabetti Looking forward, Sunseeker confirmed that it remains focused on fulfilling its global order book and continuing with the development of new yacht models, including an upcoming superyacht range announced earlier this year. In accordance with UK employment law, a formal consultation process will now commence, lasting a minimum of 45 days, during which the company will explore all options and seek input from affected teams. The outcome of the consultation process will determine the final shape of the restructure. In the meantime, Sunseeker continues to operate as usual, prioritising its global customers, ongoing projects, and future product development. News Source: IBI News Media Gallery ← Previous Next →
