Global shipbroking network Simpson Spence Young (SSY) has confirmed the names of six staff members in Europe and Asia who have been promoted to partners.

New managing partner Stanko Jekov told TradeWinds in an interview published last week that the partnership was expanding, but did not name names.

SSY confirmed on Monday that the partnership in London has been expanded to include Toby English from the sale-and-purchase team, Phillip Tripodakis in LNG and Robert Boles from tanker chartering.
