Whilst they remain shareholders, Trimline’s current COO Ross Welham has joined forces with Nick Farrell in purchasing a majority share of Trimline Ltd and have become its directors.

Five decades in the interiors industry

Formed in 1965, Trimline recently celebrated its 56th year anniversary, growing to become a highly respected marine interior outfitter.

With over 13 years’ experience within the marine interior outfitting industry, Welham has been joined by new technology specialist Farrell under the new structure.

Mike Oliver said ‘Gary and I have been involved with Trimline since we were children and following our father’s retirement 30 years ago, we’ve been managing the business. We now feel it’s time for new leadership which brings a new skill set and we look forward to seeing where Ross, Nick and our brilliant team can take the business.’

Exploring new technology 

Welham talked of Farrell’s skill set as ‘a great asset in offering clients added value’ whilst Farrell commented, ‘Trimline has a fantastic reputation for quality and professionalism, built up over decades, and its name is held in high esteem across the industry. Maintaining our leading position in our niche is critical, and I plan to enhance our offerings even further with new technology and systems.’
