Driscoll Boat Works Announces their Reorganization

SAN DIEGO, CA – May 2, 2006 – Driscoll Boat Works names a new General Manager of Operations and Production Staff. This second generation family owned company wanted to bring the management back to the family and appointed Chuck Driscoll as the General Manager of Operations.

Chuck Driscoll will now oversee all aspects of Sales, Marketing, and Production for the two Shelter Island facilities. After twenty one years of running his own Marine Surveying business, Chuck returned to the family business in 1998 to operate Driscoll’s Kettenburg facility. His boating knowledge, personalized customer service, and demeanor make him a natural leader for the Driscoll Team. “This company was founded by my father, Gerry and his brother Harlan. They had a tradition of customer service that set the standard for the industry. Tom and I want to get back to that standard. This re-organization is the first step in that direction,” Tom Driscoll the current president of Driscoll Boat Works and Driscoll, Inc. will remove himself from the day to day boatyard operations to focus on redevelopment and expansion projects.

Helping execute this fresh attitude and focus on customer service is the new sales and production team. Bringing over one hundred years of combined experience to Driscoll’s production office will be the trio of Bob Bolster, Rick Viloria, and Mike Fitzgerald. The current sales staff will now be joined by Bill Campbell. Bill brings a wealth of sailing experience and strong ties to the San Diego Boating Community. He will be dealing directly with the various yacht brokerage offices and boat dealers. Driscoll Boat Works is a full service repair facility located on Shelter Island.
