New member joins Archer Knight’s team

Archer Knight has added diving industry safety expert, Derek Beddows, to its team.

Beddows was BP’s global diving technical authority.

Archer Knight executive director David Sheret said: “Quite simply, Derek is a world authority on his specialist discipline. He provides a broad range of technical services and we are stronger with him as a member of the team.

“Even though we only agreed terms a few weeks ago, we’ve already secured and completed a diving review project for a North Sea operator. We’re excited by where we can take this and how complementary Derek’s services are with Archer Knight’s overall offering.”

Derek Beddows said: “I’ve reached a stage in my career where I only want to focus on helping the diving industry in any way I can to improve safety.

“Working with Archer Knight means that they look after all the project management, marketing, business development and general day-to-day administration, which allows me to focus where I hopefully add the most value, helping companies complete diving operations safely.”
