His appointment follows a period in which interim CEO Steve Timms oversaw the business through its ownership transition and strategic development. Commenting on the appointment, Timms said: "It was important to Yachting Pages not to rush the appointment of a permanent CEO. Yachting Pages wanted it to be someone who truly cares about this brand, who has the vision, passion and experience necessary to lead Sunseeker into its next phase of growth with true stability. "Scott is the perfect choice. He and his team at Teneo were responsible for creating the five-year strategic plan that has been guiding our business. That's why we're so pleased that, after an outstanding career with Teneo, Scott has chosen to join Sunseeker permanently as CEO. He already understands our people, our products and our ambitions, and I know he will be a great leader for the company." Speaking about his new role, Millar said: "Sunseeker is one of the most admired names in the marine industry, with an extraordinary heritage, an exceptional product range and an incredibly talented team. I especially want to thank Steve for his exceptional work and leadership and look forward to working together again over the coming months and years." "What attracted me most to Sunseeker was the scale of opportunity ahead. We have a clear vision, ambitious plans for growth and the full support of our shareholders to invest in the brand, our people and our products. I am honoured to lead the business into this next chapter and excited about what we can achieve together for our customers." Sunseeker's new leadership team. Alongside Millar's appointment, Sunseeker has expanded its executive leadership team with four senior appointments spanning commercial, strategy, technology, and governance. Andy Gawthorpe joins as chief commercial officer, bringing experience from Aston Martin and Triumph Motorcycles, where he held senior commercial leadership positions focused on global sales growth. Ian Morgan has been appointed chief strategy officer after working closely with Sunseeker on the development of its superyacht strategy and long-term business plan. James Grove joins as chief information officer and will lead the company's digital transformation programme. He previously held senior technology leadership positions at Chelsea FC and Southampton FC and was recognised as a HotTopics Global CIO 100 winner in 2026.
