Rianne West, Conference Manager – Logistics

Rianne graduated from Brunel University in 2013 with a degree in Drama, Film and Television. She joined Superyacht Investor in May 2015 as Conference Manager. Her background in events planning and organisation, including two years for radio station Heart FM, gives her the perfect training for the tough role we’ve given her.

When not working Rianne can often be found posting images on Instagram. You could follow her there, but we suggest that you follow her dog Woody’s account instead.

Hannah Burton, Conference Manager – Content

Hannah joined Superyacht Investor as a temp in January 2018 after a stint in the civil service and then over 12 years worth of PA roles. As she survived the big London conference, they asked her to stick around permanently as a conference manager.

When not chasing the boss for the latest event agenda, Hannah can be found at military style exercise classes in the local park, singing in a choir and baking cakes (she’s also a huge fan of Minions)
