Ferguson Marine Appoints New CEO Following Calmac Contract Loss
Scotland’s nationalised shipyard Ferguson Marine has announced the appointment of a new Chief Executive, just days after missing out on the contract to build seven new ferries for CalMac.
Graeme Thomson, currently an executive at Babcock, will step into the role on 1 May, succeeding interim CEO John Petticrew, who stepped down earlier this month for “personal reasons.”
Mr Thomson’s appointment comes at a crucial juncture for the Port Glasgow shipyard, as it seeks to secure its future and rebuild confidence following recent setbacks.
