Tack and Jibe, the UK’s fastest-growing online platform for buying and selling boats, is proud to announce the appointment of Richard Glynn as UK Sales Director, marking the company’s first key staffing hire.
Rich will lead Sales and Business Development nationwide, spearheading strategic growth as the business accelerates its mission to become the UK’s leading destination for marine brokerage and individual boat sales.
Founded less than a year ago, Tack and Jibe has already listed over 1,000 boats on its platform and is quickly becoming a transformative force in the marine marketplace. Rich’s appointment signals a significant next step in scaling the brokerage client base, with a strong emphasis on building partnerships across the UK and driving value for professional sellers.
"We’re thrilled to welcome Richard to the team," said a spokesperson for Tack and Jibe. "His experience and leadership will be critical in expanding our reach, supporting brokers, and delivering on our promise to make boat sales easier, more transparent, and more effective than ever before."
Rebuilt, redesigned and ready to scale
Coinciding with Rich’s arrival, Tack and Jibe has also launched a completely rebuilt and redesigned platform, created to be faster, smarter, and more intuitive for both individual sellers and brokerages. The new user interface offers a streamlined back-end, advanced listing analytics, and a built-in CRM, enabling vendors to track and manage leads with ease.
Key features of the new platform include:
- Automatic listing uploads and real-time maintenance
- Powerful client dashboard with easy navigation and detailed performance metrics
- Unlimited, free listings for private sellers - forever - with no credit card details required
- Support for up to 150 high-resolution images, UHD video, survey documents, and more
- Multi-platform marketing distribution including Google Ads, Facebook, and LinkedIn
These updates reflect Tack and Jibe’s commitment to democratising boat sales, giving power back to both professionals and private owners through technology-driven tools and a frictionless listing experience.
With over a thousand listings in under three months, we’ve proven the demand for a better way to buy and sell boats online. Now, with a stronger team and a smarter platform, we’re poised to become the number one name in UK marine sales.
