As part of a further initiative to strengthen customer support Simplex has appointed Peter Stevenson in a new role as sales director. “Peter is an exciting choice for us”, says MD, James Hogg, “he will be taking a fresh and more disciplined approach to enable us to develop a more responsive service”. Peter Stevenson’s background will certainly strengthen the management team at this growing company. He joins from V Ships Marine Services where he was sales director to a diverse range of technical and non-technical services. Prior to this he was at UMC, the recognised world-leader in underwater engineering, where, as sales director, he significantly boosted the merchant client base.
