Pareto Shipbrokers is on the hunt for more brokers as Tom Sunderland takes over the running of its Aberdeen office.

The Norwegian-owned broking shop said that despite sustained pressure from coronavirus restrictions, it has continued to strengthen its position "as a world-leading international shipbroker".

Sunderland has been promoted from broker to general manager in Aberdeen, replacing industry stalwart Fraser Ralley, who is stepping back from day-to-day operations.
