New Ownership for Ancasta Group

We are delighted to announce an exciting new chapter for the Ancasta Group.

Founder Nick Griffith has sold a majority shareholding in the business to Ancasta franchise owner Matthew Shave, marking a significant milestone in the company’s evolution. Matthew will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer, leading Ancasta into its next phase of growth. Nick will transition to Chairman, where he will continue to provide strategic oversight and support the executive team.

Reflecting on the transition, Nick said: “I am incredibly proud of what Ancasta has achieved over the past 25 years. Matthew is the right person to lead the business forward, and I look forward to supporting him in my new role as Chairman.”

Matthew added: “Ancasta is a highly respected brand with a strong reputation across the marine industry. I am excited to take on this role and to work with the team to continue scaling the business, strengthening our partnerships with leading shipyards, and delivering high-quality, full-service solutions to our clients.”

With clear direction under new leadership, Ancasta is well positioned to build on its strong market presence in brokerage and new boat sales, while continuing to expand its franchise network and service offering.
