Subsea cable protection systems provider Tekmar has appointed Alasdair MacDonald to lead the company as its new chief executive.
MacDonald (pictured) was chairman of Tekmar Energy for five years prior to the company’s flotation in June 2018, when he became non-executive chairman of Tekmar Group plc.
Julian Brown has been elected as non-executive chairman, following the change in MacDonald’s role.
He has over 30 years’ experience in offshore energy, holding senior executive roles at Wellstream Holdings, Seanamic Group and Technip UK, the offshore subsea construction services business.
He has also been on the board of Tekmar Group since its floatation in June 2018 and has “extensive experience” in renewable energy, having held the role of vice president and country manager at MHI Vestas and is a board director at Renewable UK.
MacDonald said: “I am very pleased to have been chosen to lead the business at this exciting time and look forward to taking the business on to the next stage of its development.
“Tekmar Group is the market leader in cable protection systems and has a globally recognised brand which along with subsequent acquisitions places the group in a strong position for long-term sustainable growth.”
