UK Maritime Services Capability Review 2020
Maritime professional services have been at the heart of both the UK’s and London’s economy for centuries, reflecting the country’s historical role as a leading maritime and trading nation.
While the UK remains the clear leader in maritime professional business services, there is no room for complacency, and it is for this reason that the Department for International Trade (DTI) wants to promote proactively the unique strength and offer of the sector, around the world.
What makes the UK stand out as a provider of maritime professional services, is the unparalleled strength and depth of the UK cluster. The DIT has put together a new brochure on the UK Maritime Services and included within in this is one company that comes with a wealth of experience on providing HR Support to this sector; Just Global HR Services Limited. Justine Brown, CEO and Founder and Jayne Morgan, MD had both previously worked for DP World and Jayne Morgan had worked at P & O prior to its takeover by DP World amassing over 30 years experience in the sector. Justine Brown has a background in Construction, Infrastructure and Facilities Management which set up her career for her time at DP World, last year she also undertook an assignment for the Port of Dover before setting up Just Global HR Services Limited with Jayne Morgan so they could supply HR Support Services to the Maritime Sector and other Sectors globally.
If the UK Maritime sector is to maintain and grow its market share then a strong partnership with the government is vital. This new brochure not only provides an overview of the sector but serves as an overt, physical representation of the DIT’s support of it. The interaction between the various professions is a key advantage, enabling quick and expert solutions to shipping related challenges. This cross pollination and the maritime eco-system surrounding it, ensures that in a competitive market the UK culture of excellence ensures that clients can access the innovative, trusted and respected expertise they need. With companies possessing real understanding and a deep knowledge of the industry.
