Shark Shield continue growth strategy with new appointments to the board

Today, Shark Shield has announced the appointment of Independent Chairman Alan Broome, Independent Director James Wakim and Advisory Board member Jane McKellar to the board.

Shark Shield remains the world’s only independently tested and proven shark deterrent technology and is the result of over 20 years of research by some of the world’s leading shark experts.

Lindsay Lyon, Shark Shield Managing Director says, “We are thrilled to have such a high calibre of new Director’s with the skills to take our growth to the next level. With our new surfing product currently under development, each of our new members will play an integral part in the successful launch later this year, and our ongoing expansion into the USA of the current product range”.

In the current financial year Shark Shield has experienced revenue growth of 60% year to date, and their recent expansion into the USA has also proven to be a success, with revenue growth of 300% year to date, and an increase in retailers from seven to fifty stores.
