Mourjan Marinas IGY, the developer of luxury marinas and yachting lifestyle destinations, has appointed Simon Maree as manager of Lusail Marina, its flagship project in Doha.

Simon, an Australian from Sydney, will oversee the management and day-to-day running of the Lusail Marina, the first marina to be developed within the prestigious Lusail City development in Doha.

The marina, which was started to be developed in October this year and has made rapid progress, is set to become one of the premiere marina facilities in the Middle East, offering 96 modern floating marina berths catering for yachts of 10-40 metres in length.

Simon comes from having worked for the past three years with d’Abora, Australia’s largest marina group, where he was marina manager based in Sydney’s famous Rushcutters Bay.

Simon graduated with a Bachelor of Business at the University of Technology in Sydney where he majored in management and marketing. He also holds a number of marina-specific qualifications, including occupational health and safety certificates.

Following Simon’s appointment, Mourjan Marinas IGY has announced a special offer which will see people receive one month of complimentary berthing when they sign an annual berthing agreement at Lusail Marina before January 31, 2011.-TradeArabia News Service
