The Developer

Hello, my name is Nick and I'm the creator of PocketChief. I've been a part of the Marine Engineering Industry since I was 16 years old. I began my journey by studying at Warsash Maritime Academy and then worked with renowned cruise companies for five years.

Following my experience with cruise ships, I decided to transition to Ferries, where I spent the next five years working in the English Channel between Dover and Dunkerque.

I then moved into the yachting industry, where I currently serve as a Chief Engineer on vessels over 90m. Through my years in the industry, I have gained valuable knowledge and experience that I am eager to share with aspiring Marine Engineers.

I have also studied at Warsash and South Shields and am well-versed in the colleges and surrounding areas. I am committed to providing personalised, expert guidance to those who are seeking to enhance their knowledge and understanding of marine engineering.
