Ocean Youth Trust Scotland has formed an all-female management team

GREENOCK based charity Ocean Youth Trust Scotland has appointed a new sailing and development manager and formed an all-female management team for the first time in its history. Peta Koczy, 26, will begin her role as sailing and development manager in the same week as the world celebrates International Women’s Day. Her appointment will mean the management team at the charity is entirely female, in an industry traditionally dominated by men. The team is completed by general manager, Hazel Wiseman, and head of fundraising and PR Ashley Mabon. OYTS is a floating outdoor education centre based at East India Harbour and it supports over 700 young people each year through week-long residential youth work voyages at sea.
