North P&I Club has appointed Job de Groot of Van Oord as its new vice chairman, succeeding Lars Christensen of Norden, who stood down from the role as well as from the club’s board at the directors’ meeting on November 5.
de Groot first joined North as a director in 2006 and continues to serve on its group risk and audit committees. He is also a director of North’s fishing and aquaculture subsidiary Sunderland Marine. de Groot currently heads the legal and contracts department at Rotterdam-based Van Oord, one of the world’s leading dredging, marine engineering and offshore energy project contractors. The €2 billion turnover company operates a fleet of 75 specialist construction vessels.
Other changes made at North’s board meeting last week include the appointment of Alex Lynch MBE as chairman of the risk committee and Peter Johnson as chairman of the audit committee. Lynch was previously group finance director of Scottish ferry operator David MacBrayne and joined the club’s board in 2013. Johnson was formerly senior audit partner of accountant KPMG in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK and has served on the Sunderland Marine board since 2000.
