Dana appoints Fitzsimmons
DANA Petroleum has appointed David Fitzsimmons as the company's first independent non-executive director since delisting from the stock exchange in 2010.
Mr Fitzsimmons brings a wealth of experience to the board having spent nearly three decades in a number of leadership roles with BP.
After leaving BP, David was chief executive at Novera Energy until 2009, a leading AIM-listed UK renewable energy company.
Mr Fitzsimmons is non-executive director of Photonomi Group, which provides heating products using nanotechnology, and on the advisory boards of Nur Energie, a UK developer of large-scale solar power projects in the Sahara, and Braemar Energy, a US-based venture capital fund specialising in energy technologies.
Weston to head SCI academy
DAVID Weston has been appointed training and competence manager at Survival Craft Inspectorate (SCI), the provider of emergency marine systems and support services.
Mr Weston, who served in the Royal Air Force for 22 years, has been handed a company-wide auditing role and will also head SCI's new training academy in Stonehaven.
SIC, which recently opened its 12th office in Rotterdam, is on track to increase turnover to £30 million for its year-end in 2014 - a projected increase of 35% on the £22.1m achieved last year.
Mr Weston said: "I'm delighted to be joining a large international organisation, which nevertheless still holds the values and qualities of a family business.
"I'm looking forward to ensuring we maintain the correct certification for all our staff and taking opportunities to enhance skills along the way. More than that, the role of heading up the new training academy is a very exciting one."
