The full Atlantas Marine team will continue running the business under the same name from its Yeovil headquarters. Novi Partners' founders, Josh Neely and Ben Saward, have joined as joint Managing Directors, based in Yeovil and responsible for running the company day-to-day alongside the established senior leadership team.

Over the coming months, Charlie will support a smooth handover by introducing Josh and Ben to the customers and suppliers he has worked with over many years. He will remain involved until the end of December 2026.

Novi Partners plans to invest in the fleet, the company's own technology and its data capabilities to support growth.
