Hamish Petersen, Managing Director, talked about the new appointments: “We are delighted to be able to bring in new faces to KD Marine, these appointments have allowed us to strengthen the company in key areas and will see the company continue to expand and grow, we are also still looking to recruit in certain areas, as we still have a need for a HSQE Co-ordinator at the moment.”
