"On behalf of the Board I would like to welcome Mr McDonald into the Group and I look forward to working closely with him.  Lamprell is entering a challenging period as it responds to the continuing downturn in the market and I am confident that Mr McDonald's wealth of experience in business development will help to re-position the Company for renewed growth. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Mr Moffat for his significant efforts since early 2013 which have re-established Lamprell's reputation for high build quality, a world class safety record and for working collaboratively with our clients."
