The Board is keen to leverage that knowledge for greater Group benefit and recognise that his skill set lies in the technical side of risk management and designing new services. I am delighted that the business will continue to benefit from his niche expertise in a role dedicated to manage risk, trading and hedging whilst also exploring new growth opportunities, including our gas shipping offering. Garry will remain an integral part of the team as we implement our strategy and focus on the key areas that will ensure our long-term profitable growth."
