We are incredibly proud to announce that our Managing Director and Co-Founder of Image Line Communications Ltd Image Line Communications, Sue Terpilowski, OBE, has been elected President of The Anchorites on 19th February 2025 for the next 12 months.
The Anchorites is a prestigious maritime association with a rich history dating back to September 1919. It brings together individuals passionate about the maritime industry, fostering excellence, knowledge sharing, and networking across various marine sectors. The Anchorites is an informal dining club that hosts five or six dinners a year, each featuring a maritime guest speaker. These dinners offer valuable networking opportunities for its members. The club’s informal nature has been a key factor in its enduring success, as it is famously stated in its rules: “The most stringent rules of the Club shall be the unwritten ones.”
With 350 members coming from diverse maritime backgrounds, including the Merchant Navy, Royal Navy, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, maritime charities, and sectors such as insurance, legal, logistics, and risk management, the club remains a vital hub for maritime professionals.
She has served over the past two years as Rear and then Vice President before being elected President.
As a well-regarded PR and communications expert, Sue has built a distinguished career over 37 years, known for her strategic acumen, industry advocacy, and dedication to driving positive change. Among her notable achievements, Sue launched the Women’s Speakers Bank for the IMO & WISTA International. She played a key role in the winning team behind the Maritime Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion initiative. Furthermore, she has held multiple board and voluntary positions, using her expertise to support and strengthen the maritime industry.
Sue’s election as President is a testament to her leadership and her unwavering commitment to maritime excellence and having fun. This recognition from The Anchorites underscores her remarkable contributions to the industry.
Please join us in congratulating Sue on this prestigious achievement!
