Not only she has found me some fantastic people to work with but we have also managed to handle sensitive situations with respect and dignity.”
“Milica placed me on my first yacht when I joined the industry, matching my land-based experience perfectly with the vessel.

Her experience with, and knowledge of the 100m+ market means she is the first person I call when I am looking for a role or crew.”
