About Us

More than 40 years on the river Thames

Livett’s Directors Chris and Belinda have been afloat on the River Thames for over 40 years and continue to lead the business with the same enthusiasm that was there at the start of their journey.

Their son Ed joined the business in 2012 and is now Managing Director, overseeing day-to-day operations and leading Livett’s renowned marine filming team.

The experience built over more than four decades on the river, including involvement in landmark projects such as the 2012 Olympics, has helped establish Livett’s as one of the most respected and trusted marine service suppliers on the Thames.
