The East of England’s Marine Science and Technology Sector Council Announces Change in Leadership

After an impressive six year term, culminating in a hugely successfully event hosted by the MST sector council earlier this year, the group’s Chair, Phil Durrant, is stepping down.

With 30 years’ experience in the marine sector, now presiding over MarineSpace as Managing Director, Phil’s valuable experience and knowledge of the industry combined with his natural leadership skills has contributed to the continued growth and advancement of the MST Sector Council.

Stepping into the role with an impressive track record is Jennifer Nicholls, who brings a wealth of experience to the council: she has worked in the energy industry since 1998 in a variety of roles, from a graduate seismic data processor, to running her own consultancy. She now works for EPI Group as their Marketing & Sustainability Manager.

With Jenni previously sitting on the steering committee, this transition reflects the council’s dedication to ensuring a seamless progression in its leadership and continuing its mission in providing a full representation of the services contributing to the industry in the East of England.

The MST Sector Council expresses its gratitude to Phil for his outstanding commitment and dedication as Chair and is delighted to welcome Jenni as their new lead.
