HEAVING IN THE CREW

"I have used Winch Yacht Recruitment for several placements over the last few years. I have known Tom for quite some time now, and I prefer to use his services as he has hands on experience in yachting life as an ex crew member himself. I feel that this makes his approach and judgement more dependable compared to companies who do not offer staff with this sort of experience. Toms placements have always been prompt, business like and appropriate, and I have recently had two temp crew supplied by Tom to cover crew holidays and sickness. Both of these crew member turned out to be excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending Tom and Winch Yacht Recruitment, and I will certainly be contacting them for future placements. "

"I worked with Thomas Winch in the past on a very well respected 106m MY. During this time I served as Chief Officer and was directly involved in all his day to day work. I can only say good things about Thomas’s conduct during this time. He had a very professional attitude, his knowledge was above requirement but most of all his management and crew interaction was his best skill. Thomas had the ability to make anyone smile and could pick the team up in the most dire of situations. I always thought that recruitment would suit Thomas as his people skills were extremely on point and his ability to go above and beyond for people without any personal gain. When Thomas made the transition into recruitment, I knew he would be my go to choice of recruiters. As I knew the background work he would put in to make sure each crew member would fit the dynamics of each vessel. I feel that with him getting his MCA accreditation, shows his level of seriousness in pursuing this venture. I have been using Thomas now for pivotal roles since Winch Yacht Recruitment began, and I will continue to use them in the near future."

“I would like to thank Tom, for the huge amount of effort that he put into helping me land my next position. Without you, it simply would not of been possible. Thankyou for the endless emails to and from management and the captain ensuring that my transition was as smooth as possible. I did not for a moment doubt that everything would come together, and you handled everything with care and took professional to another level. I will highly recommend your services to all of my fellow yachties. Thanks Tom”

“I extend gratitude to Winch Yacht Recruitment for their exceptional support in securing me a position aboard a 60m+ vessel as Bosun. From the outset, their professional and dedicated team provided invaluable guidance and resources, tailoring their approach to my unique strengths and career goals. I had the pleasure of working directly with Tom, a great recruiter and I believe the director who handled the process with exceptional professionalism. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking support in navigating the competitive job market, Thanks Tom!!”

“I have used many agencies in the past, but none have been as responsive as this one. From the moment I contacted Tom until the very last moment of finding me a position, he kept in constant contact with me giving me regular updates. Its clear to see that Tom has worked within the industry himself, as he seems to know and understand exactly what to look for and asks all of the right questions. He was very honest and direct with the process and gave me some amazing advice on things that I was not already aware of. I will defiantly be using this company in the near future should I be looking for a new position, and would highly recommend Tom as an agent to anyone. Best of luck Tom”

I was impressed with the knowledge and support that Tom showed throughout the process, and ultimately I secured a fantastic position on a 100m+ thanks to his expertise, I would highly recommend using this agency to anyone. Thanks Tom”
