LONDON (Alliance News) - Gulf Marine Services PLC said Friday it has appointed Stephen Kersley as chief financial officer, with effect on June 9.
He will be replacing John Brown, who is due to step down from the role on Tuesday next week at Gulf Marine Services's annual general meeting after five years since 2014.
The oil & gas industry vessel provider had originally intended to appoint Stuart Jackson, however in April the company announced he would not be taking up his post due to family health reasons.
Kersley's most recent executive role was at Canadian oilfield services firm Tervita Corp, where he was chief financial officer for two years from 2015 to 2017. Prior to that he was finance chief of Abu Dhabi National Energy Co PJSC, for three years from 2011 to 2014.
Chief Executive Duncan Anderson explained he was "delighted" to welcome Kersley to the firm, adding that he "brings a sound knowledge of corporate finance and strong industry experience."
Shares in Gulf Marine Services were up 0.5% at 10.25 pence on Friday.
