PRYME Group, the Dundee-based manufacturing firm, has installed Kerrie Murray as its new chief executive.

Ms Murray has worked for the private equity-backed Pryme since joining as chief financial officer in June 2018.

The chartered accountant had spent the previous 10 years working in the oil and gas industry, latterly as director of international finance at Forum Energy Technologies.

Ms Murray, who has held the post on an interim basis since former boss Angus Gray departed in February, said: “I am extremely pleased to have been given the opportunity to lead a progressive company that has ambitious plans to establish itself across multiple industry segments, both in the UK and internationally.

“With the support of my colleagues across all parts of the business, I am confident that we can take full advantage of the group’s undoubted potential and emerge from the prevailing conditions in a strong position ready to achieve our longer-term growth objectives.”

Pryme provides manufacturing solutions to a range of industry sectors, including energy.
