Aberdeen-based Maritime Assurance and Consulting Ltd (MAC) has expanded its range of services by launching a new division of the company.

MAC’s managing director, Graeme Reid, in partnership with Damian Skelly, has added MAC Resourcing Ltd to the business’ portfolio.

MAC Resourcing, of which Damian will be director, will offer existing clients of MAC, as well as other companies, a recruitment service.

The recruitment side of the business will focus on a specialised, niche market, placing top level personnel, such as naval architects and marine engineers, in organisations.

The division will be headed up by Damian, who has extensive experience in agency recruitment, as well as specifically in the marine industry.

MAC, which was established in January, has seen a successful first nine months of business.

Initial first-year turnover predictions for MAC had been around £650,000, but with the continued success and growth of the company to date, this figure is now expected to exceed £1.2million. MAC has also further increased its workforce in recent months with five new members of staff taking the current headcount to 14.

Graeme said: “It is extremely exciting to be able to launch the new division of the company and I am confident that MAC Resourcing will only serve to further strengthen what has already been a very successful year to date.

“I am delighted to welcome Damian to MAC and am sure this joint venture will prove beneficial to everyone involved.

“Damian brings with him a huge amount of industry experience and I am thrilled to have launched MAC Resourcing alongside him.”

Damian added: “I firmly believe that people are the most important asset to any business and look forward to the opportunity ahead. By adding this division to the business, MAC will be able to offer both existing and new clients an even more comprehensive service.”

Maritime Assurance & Consulting Ltd is based within Victoria House at 259 Union Street and is a member of the International Marine Contractors Association.
