"I am delighted to have joined this inspiring organization, where I will continue to work within the marine business pushing the sustainability agenda with solutions enabling the safe transport of liquids and gases. GF Piping Systems has been a household name in the cruise industry for the last 30 years, and now there is a growing awareness in both the merchant and offshore sectors that substituting metal for plastics has significant long-term advantages.I look forward to this journey to becoming better every day with old and new acquaintances."
