Callum Whelan

Callum started at the Riviera Factory in Late 2014 as a Store person/Parts picker. He gained valuable knowledge of the complex construction of the brand and the high-quality that is expected of it. This led Callum to start his trade training in Boat Building within the riviera apprentice program in 2016. Switching to an Electrical apprenticeship in 2017, Callum enjoyed the new challenges that the electrical trade had to offer. He found himself excelling through the stages of production and travelling with the company to perform warranty work, including the setup and pack-down of Boat Shows locally, interstate and internationally. Completing a stint in the electrical office performing CZone programming and electrical design duties, Callum found himself being sent to Florida, USA, to service the Rivieras in America. Completing his apprenticeship in 2021, Callum then went on to work in the Riviera Aftermarket and Warranty department, taking part in refit jobs and servicing new and old Rivieras to the highest standard.

However, during the 2016 Riviera Festival of Boating, Callum spoke to Randall Jones (R Marine Jones Dealer Principal) about getting into sales, and further was offered an opportunity in 2023 to pursue his dream career at R Marine Jones. Callum believes that working at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show sparked his interest in becoming part of the Riviera Dealer network, and helping get clients out on the water and guiding them to their perfect boat. Callum is an excellent representation of how vast the Riviera community is, and his experience and timeline further shows how dedicated he is to pair the perfect owner with the perfect boat.
