As many of you will know, Kevin has had a long and successful career in Ship Agency. Starting in 1979 with one of the UK’s oldest agencies, Kevin eventually started his own agency business which was then acquired by Cory Brothers.

Kevin was Managing Director of Cory Brothers for 11 years during which time, under his stewardship, Cory Brothers re-developed into a very profitable and growing business including overseas expansion.

As some of you will be aware, Kevin has had to resort to litigation with Cory Brothers’ owners – Braemar – which will be concluded in a few weeks time.

We are therefore looking forward to working with a well-rested and energised Kevin whose reputation and knowledge of the industry will help us deliver a high quality service to our clients as well as
guiding the development and continued expansion of the company.

Andy comes with a wealth of experience and expertise in the Industry and is well liked and very highly regarded within the Shipping community.

We are delighted he has decided to join our young and highly motivated team and he will greatly assist us in realising our expansion plans.
