Tekmar Group plc

("Tekmar", the "Company" or the "Group")

Appointment of Chief Operating Officer

 

Tekmar Group plc (AIM: TGP), the leading provider of technology and services
for the global offshore energy markets, is pleased to announce the appointment
of Marc Bell, current Managing Director of Tekmar Energy, as Chief Operating
Officer ("COO") of Tekmar Group.

 

Marc brings nearly 25 years of experience of business leadership experience
across manufacturing, service, and project engineering-focused organisations.
A qualified Mechanical Engineer with a Master's in Business Management from
the University of Durham, Marc has spent the past 15 years in the global
energy sector, holding key roles in offshore wind and subsea industries.

 

Prior to joining Tekmar, Marc held senior roles within the industry, including
Global Operations Director for JDR Cables, Head of Offshore Wind UKI for
Siemens Gamesa, and Global Manufacturing Manager for Technip Umbilicals.

 

In his new role as COO, Marc will take on the leadership of Pipeshield in
addition to his responsibilities with Tekmar Energy. His focus will be on
embedding the best practices established, ensuring efficiency, continuous
improvement, and collaboration across the Group's operations. With oversight
of both divisions, Marc's leadership will provide opportunity for further
collaboration between Tekmar Energy and Pipeshield, facilitating opportunities
for cross selling across the wider Tekmar customer base, in addition to other
strategic synergies.

 

Richard Turner, CEO of Tekmar Group, commented: "We are delighted to appoint
Marc Bell into the role of Chief Operating Officer of Tekmar, at a pivotal
point in the Company's growth journey. Marc has a wealth of experience in the
global energy sector, and in his current role as Managing Director of Tekmar
Energy, he has been instrumental in achieving a number of key strategic
milestones for the Group and building it into the frontrunner for cable
protection technology today.

 

"This appointment marks another step forward in the execution of our
three-year plan to create a step change in profit performance and drive
sustainable value creation at Tekmar. We look forward to working with Marc in
his new role to continue to execute on our growth strategy and deliver value
for our shareholders."
