The biggest highs for Hugh McCoy during his 30 years in shipbroking were
notching up personal sale and purchase (S&P) triumphs, but also
building up the corporate might of Horace Clarkson.
The lows came when McCoy, as new managing director of the publicly
quoted company, found himself losing a public relations battle with
unhappy shareholders led by Peter Stokes.
McCoy also admits that his departure from the shipbroking giant has not
been as easy as he would have liked.
