Brightwell Expands Presence in Europe Through Partnership with sea chefs

Brightwell, an Atlanta-based global payments technology company, today announced it is expanding its presence in Europe through a new partnership with sea chefs, a leading partner to shipping companies and tour operators in the cruise industry that provides world-class hotel, catering, and crew management. By partnering with Brightwell and implementing its Navigator solution, sea chefs will now be able to provide its crew members with a simplified payroll process with capabilities to easily send payments back home to friends and family around the world.

“When sea chefs needed a world-class partner to serve our 15,000+ crew members, Brightwell was the best fit for our business,” said David George Tidmarsh, Managing Director, sea chefs. “Navigator by Brightwell replaces cash payments and offers several benefits to sea chefs’ crew members, including speed, choice, and security.”

Navigator is a fully customizable, turnkey payroll solution from Brightwell designed with the flexibility and convenience to meet the needs of an empowered, global workforce. With Navigator, global employees can easily access and manage their wages with Brightwell’s easy-to-use mobile app, prepaid card, and integrated global transfer services to send secure and compliant payments globally. The partnership with sea chefs will allow Brightwell to expand its presence in Europe and within the cruise industry, bringing more access and choices to crew members.

“Brightwell has over a decade of experience working within the cruise industry to provide innovative payments and payroll solutions,” said John Markendorf, COO, Brightwell. “With this partnership, we are proud that sea chefs have enlisted us to transform the payroll process for its crew members.”
