We’re proud to congratulate Kevin Lidgard, our Head of Marinas (pictured below), on receiving a Service Award at the 2025 Barfoot & Thompson Yachting Excellence Awards.
This recognition celebrates more than 50 years of Kevin’s contribution to the boating industry as a designer, builder, safety advocate, and yachtsman. His career reflects a rare combination of craftsmanship, seamanship, and a long-standing commitment to safer boating.
The annual Yachting Excellence Awards are a highlight of the New Zealand boating calendar, recognising achievement across the sport and industry – from grassroots through to high performance.
We’re fortunate to have someone of Kevin’s calibre leading our marina operations and helping deliver outstanding experiences for our boating community and visiting yachts.
Please join us in congratulating Kevin on this well-deserved achievement.
