Berkeley March

Founder

Berkeley always had a passion for design from an early age and interested in form as well as function.
From drawing concept cars at school to specialising in sculpturing at Art College a love of design was abundantly apparent. He later went on to study architecture at Oxford Brookes University before moving over to Yacht and Powercraft design at Southampton Solent University. He had previously worked for Laurent Giles Ltd as a naval architect, where he worked on projects ranging from 30 to 125m and most recently Trimline Superyacht Interiors Trimline superyachts on the interior outfit of two sister 43m motor yachts.
He is also a proud finalist of Boat international’s young designer of the year competition which has enabled him to showcase his work and gain recognition leading to further commissioned designs.
