TMG Bolsters Business Development

The Maritime Group (TMG) International has appointed a business development director as it steps up ambitious growth plans.

Kevin Hawes takes the new role after securing a number of contract wins for TMG over the past year as its Business Development Manager. He has also been named as a non-executive Director at the maritime services company and consultancy.

TMG’s headquarters is in Seattle, and it has offices in London, Honolulu and Singapore.

Kevin said: “TMG has demonstrated its international reach with new business in Pacific, the Middle East and Latin America recently.

“Despite increased global uncertainty, we have experienced a very successful year so far and aim to move the business into the next phase of its growth. I am ambitious for TMG and delighted to become its business development director.”

TMG managing director Malcolm W. Parrott said: “Kevin has been very instrumental in the growth of TMG since joining the company. He is ideally placed as business development director to drive the business forward worldwide.”
