V.Group has looked outside of the shipping business for its new chief executive.
The shipmanagement giant, which came under new private equity ownership late last year, has hired Ian El-Mokadem to fill the post vacated by Clive Richardson.
El-Mokadem has arrived from testing and calibration company Exova to take a seat that former Maersk Tankers boss Hanne Sorensen has been filling on an interim basis.
