New Marine National Manager at Yamaha

Written by

Yamaha Motor New Zealand Ltd has appointed Ramon Surrey as its new National Marine Manager.

Surrey brings extensive industry expertise to the role, having spent nearly nine years at Hella Marine, overseeing sales across parts of Asia and the Middle East, as well as New Zealand.

His deep understanding of the marine industry and strong relationships with dealers and boat builders across New Zealand are expected to support Yamaha New Zealand’s continued growth.

“I’m excited to be focussing on the Yamaha Marine business and looking forward to reconnecting with the Yamaha marine dealer network and, of course, the boat builders—many of whom I already know very well,” Surrey said.

“Yamaha has a strong reputation for innovation, reliability and customer support, and I’m eager to build on that foundation while continuing to deliver value to our partners and customers across the country.”

Alan Petrie, General Manager of Yamaha Motor New Zealand, said Surrey’s appointment reflects both his capability and the company’s long-term strategy.

“Ramon’s experience in the marine sector is invaluable for the brand,” Petrie said.

“Yamaha has long been a market leader in New Zealand’s marine industry, and with Ramon stepping into this role, we are well positioned to continue that momentum, strengthen our dealer network and deliver industry-leading products and service to Kiwi customers.”
