Ocean Shipbrokers has boosted its sale and purchase desk in London with a host of fresh hires at a time when the company is looking to grow in the UK and overseas.

Len Bousfield, Dan Gifford and Alex Beckers have joined today following the arrival of David Slater earlier in 2016.

Craig Taylor, head of sale and purchase at Ocean, tells TradeWinds the new recruits take the team to eight, with that number likely to growth to 10 in the not too distant future – a size that Taylor suggests could be ideal.
