BILLY BOOTH, CLOTHING DIRECTOR

William has 30 years experience in the marine industry and joined Force 4 in 2012, setting up and opening the Plymouth store. His passion for the water started at a young age - and he spent much of his time with his father at Crosby Marina Lake, windsurfing and fishing off the coast of Anglesey. He pursued his love for water sports, becoming an Instructor at The National Watersports Centre for Wales, where he worked as a Senior Instructor teaching sailing, windsurfing and powerboating. Management roles in chandlery followed, extending his experience in product knowledge and the marine industry. He enjoys helping his customers find the right solutions, "I love my job - no day is the same".
