Mr Simpson said: “I am very pleased to be joining such an experienced team and am looking forward to playing a part in further developing the business. The North Sea remains an important part of the global market and we believe there is great potential for our accommodation modules supporting offshore renewables projects as well as the oil & gas industry.’’
