J&J Denholm, an iconic name in British maritime circles, has ushered in a generational change with its new management team.

Ben MacLehose took up the mantle of group chief executive at the beginning of the year taking over from John Denholm, who had held the post for over 25 years.

The changes also see Simon Preston appointed as J&J Denholm’s new chief financial officer, taking over from long-term incumbent Greg Hanson.
