The chief executive of boat builder Sealegs has stepped down.

David McKee Wright has resigned as chief executive and will take up a newly created role as global sales director, the company said yesterday.

Maurice Bryham will be the interim chief executive until Sealegs appoints a successor. Eric Series has been appointed executive chairman and will be responsible for the company's strategic direction.

Mr Series said Sealegs hoped the changes would position the company for growth opportunities as it wanted to tap global market opportunities.
