Senior product tanker broker Mike Rudd has left London headquartered Braemar ACM.

James Gundy, chief executive of Braemar ACM, confirmed Rudd’s departure when contacted by TradeWinds today.

Gundy describes Rudd, who is well known and widely respected in the industry, as a personal friend with whom he had worked for 20 years.

Both Gundy and Rudd joined London-listed Braemar after its merger with ACM Shipping and worked on Braemar ACM's projects team.
