Cable protection specialist Tekmar Group has appointed ex-Rolls-Royce man Ian Ritchey to its board as a non-executive director.
Ritchey (pictured) is an experienced engineer with a track record of delivery in the energy, aerospace, defence, and marine sectors, said Tekmar.
He has nearly 30 years’ experience in the engineering industry, including 20 years in senior leadership positions with Rolls-Royce plc, where he held key roles including most recently group chief engineer.
Non-executive chairman of Tekmar Group Julian Brown said: “Ian is a highly accomplished business leader with deep engineering knowledge, and experience in product research, design and technology which are directly relevant to Tekmar Group’s core market and products and will be of significant benefit to the business at a time of forecast structural growth in the global offshore wind industry.”
Ritchey added: “I look forward to working with the Board, Ally MacDonald and the rest of the executive team, and all our stakeholders, on the opportunities ahead within the Global Offshore Wind Market.”
