Leadership change announced at Teignbridge Propellers
Teignbridge Propellers Group managing director Mark Phare has announced his retirement after more than two decades.
He will be replaced at the end of May by two joint group managing directors, James Batten and Ian Mills.
“Mark has played a key role in the development and growth of the Teignbridge group, contributing significantly to its position as a leading provider of engineered marine propulsion solutions,” said chairman David Hunt. “He has made an outstanding contribution to Teignbridge over his tenure, and we are extremely grateful for his leadership and commitment. On behalf of the Board and the wider team, I would like to thank him and wish him a long and happy retirement.”
Teignbridge Propellers, a regular Seawork exhibitor, prides itself on being the largest propeller and stern gear producer of its kind in Europe.
“Employing CFD, simulation software and finite element analysis we guarantee the optimum design and performance for every project whether a motor yacht, fast patrol boat, pilot boat, super yacht or tanker,” says the company, which has factories in India and Indonesia as well as a workshop in Dubai.

Succeeding Phare are Engineering director James Batten and Finance director Ian Mills, who both “bring extensive experience within the business and have been closely involved in the company’s operational and strategic development”, said Hunt.
