“Simon has made a significant contribution to the Bibby Line Group and I should like to put on record my gratitude for his hard work and energy over the last four years.

“On behalf of the Bibby Line Group board, I would like to wish Simon all the best for the future.”

Featherstone added: “With the installation of a new operating system nearing completion, refinancing of the UK business in its final stages, growing global sales and a strong management team in place, I feel that now is a great time to move on to my next challenge.

“I have enjoyed every minute at BFS and the opportunity to lead a fantastic business with a great team and bright future has been a career highlight to date.

“I wish Michael and the team at BFS every success in the coming years.”
