Announcing the news, Hactl said: “It is with the utmost sadness that Hactl reports the death of its recently retired former Chief Executive, Mark Whitehead, who passed away in his sleep whilst competing in an ocean yacht race.

Mark’s tenure as Chief Executive was also distinguished by many industry ‘firsts’, and a host of industry awards.
