Mark Broster
Mr Broster was voted chairman to the Board of Directors in October 2008. In 2009 he assumed the additional responsibilities as Chief Executive to ECDIS Ltd. He brings a wealth of ECDIS experience from early developmental stages of courses and equipment through to its incorporation in the Maritime Community. To date he has personally trained and accredited over 700 Officers including Masters and Inspectors in MCA approved courses. His additional modules to the course have made it widely considered to be the most informative and professional ECDIS course within the community. He continues to accredit and monitor the Safety of Electronic Navigation at sea by taking the ships officers from the classroom, to training onboard, to the final accreditation giving them approval to `go digital`. His experience is being passed onto the ECDIS team in order to increase the safe application and development of ECDIS at sea; a field in which he is clearly passionate.
His vision for ECDIS Ltd is clear;
"To be World leaders in the provision of ECDIS training, consultation and mandation solutions in the electronic charting era"
Mr Broster is also a Non-Executive Director to a global marketing company, and, a UK based IT company. He is an active Officer in the Royal Navy Reserve, an organisation he is very proud to be a part of.
He recently received accolade at the annual 'ND Association Prize for Contributions to Navigation', an extract from the citation mentions that he 'has been instrumental in ensuring the Fleet transition to electronic navigation has been safe and effective'.
Outside work hours you will find him avoiding the fairway on the golf course.
Mark lives with his wife and children in Devon, England.
