Subsea cable protection company Tekmar Energy has hired Barry Cooper as operations manager.
Cooper will be responsible for all operations, working closely within the senior management team.

“I look forward to working with the team to maximise the potential of an already successful brand.”
Tekmar chief executive officer James Ritchie said: “By appointing Barry as our operations manager, with his track record in offshore operations and manufacturing from some of the leading oil and gas players, we hope to capitalise from that experience to make Tekmar the clear market leaders and the supplier of choice.”
