Rever Offshore has appointed Bibby Offshore managing director Barry MacLeod as its new chief executive.

MacLeod replaces Mark Bessell, who stepped down from the role last month for personal reasons, it said.

Bibby became part of the Rever group following its sale by Bibby Line to bondholder York Capital's Fara Holdco last year and merged with two other York companies, Norway's Rever and Cecon Contracting.
