Mark Wightman
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Mark has 40 years of experience in engineering, first completing a Navy Marine Engineering apprenticeship. After completing his service, Mark continued his work in the commercial sector, where he sailed on large container ships as an engineering officer, attaining his Chief Engineer Class 1 Unlimited as well an NZCE in Electrical Control & Instrumentation. On coming ashore in 1989, he completed studies in Instrumentation & Control and worked in the early robotics industry with high precision microscope equipment. Recognizing a genuine passion for the marine industry, Mark returned to it in 1994, this time venturing into the fledgling NZ superyacht repair and refit sector. As one of Integrated Marines’ founders in 2004, he now leads the charge to develop the company internationally. When spare time allows, you will find Mark cranking out many miles on his trusty road cycle or catching a wave at his local break on Auckland’s west coast.
