Bibby HydroMap Hires Operations Director

After three years with the company, Mick Slater has been appointed to the role of Operations Director at Bibby HydroMap. With an MBE to his name and over 40 years of industry experience including more than 30 years in the Royal Navy, Slater will hold overall responsibility for HSE, IT, HR and Compliance. Mick commented, “I feel privileged to accept the opportunity that the BOD have presented me with by this appointment. We have a great foundation and some very talented people here at Bibby HydroMap and I’m keen to build on this and play an active part in key operational and strategic decisions that will ultimately enable the continued, successful growth of the company.” 

As part of the company’s focus on efficiency, the newly created role has followed a restructuring of the senior management team. Bibby HydroMap Managing Director Andrew McLeay commented, “After a challenging year for many of our offshore clients, we are optimizing our operations and creating added value, whilst continuing to grow the business and diversify our services.” 

McLeay  continued, “The last two years have brought significant change within the company, and we now employ over 115 personnel from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. The successful rebrand from Osiris Projects to Bibby HydroMap, alongside the launch of Bibby Athena and our survey ROV d’ROP, has opened up new opportunities and increased our global presence.”
