Roger recently completed the BMET (British Marine Electrical Technican) training and received his certification this year, making him eligible to enter the award.
Derek Gilbert, Customer Support Manager at Raymarine said he was delighted to present the trophy for the first time. “Raymarine has been a leading advocate for the BMET training, and in encouraging agents and dealers to become certificated. This qualification helps give customers the confidence that they are buying from and having equipment installed by people who have received the best and most up-to-date training. I am delighted that Roger received this award, which was made in recognition of his outstanding service and customer care.”
