Technical Division Senior Management Appointments
Braemar Shipping Services PLC (LSE: BMS), a leading
international provider of broking, consultancy, technical and other
services to the shipping and energy industries, is delighted to
announce two new senior management appointments within the
Technical Services division.
The Technical Services division supplies services to the

senior appointments have been made in order to capitalise on its
strong market position. Both appointments will take effect as of 10
May 2016.
Grant Smith has been appointed as Managing Director of the
Technical Services division and a member of Braemar's Executive
Committee. Grant will have full responsibility for the activities
and performance of the division and the Managing Directors of the
five business units within Technical Services. Grant is a
commercial law graduate who began his career in the traditional
marine market before transferring his skills to the energy sector.
Formerly the head of Braemar's Adjusting unit Grant has been
involved in exploration, construction and operational projects
across the globe for over 20 years and has a proven track record of
developing talent, building teams and delivering the highest
service standards.
Geoff Jones succeeds Grant as the head of Braemar's Adjusting
business. Geoff joined Braemar Adjusting 2 years ago, having spent
33 years in the Marine and Energy Insurance industry, dealing with
high profile claims throughout that time including Piper Alpha,
Bombay High North and Macondo. Geoff is a former member of the
influential Joint Rig Committee and currently sits as a member of
the organising committee for the Lillehammer Energy Claims
Conference. He has proven management and industry credentials and
is fully deserving of global responsibility for our Adjusting
business unit.
Commenting on the appointments, James Kidwell, Chief Executive
of Braemar said:
"I warmly congratulate Grant and Geoff on their new roles,
having both proven their management credentials. Both senior
leaders have outstanding industry credentials and will provide
