A warm welcome to highly experienced commercial manager Kevin Hawes who has joined The Maritime Group (TMG) International Ltd.
Kevin is targeting new growth after starting as Business Development Manager and Senior Consultant.
Based at our London office at Victoria Embankment, he brings a wealth of commercial experience gained since leaving the British Royal Navy as a Lieutenant Commander in 1993.
His appointment comes as we continue to grow with recent successes including our ISO 9001 quality accreditation.
Kevin said: “In an increasingly competitive and uncertain maritime world, gaining the right support has never been more important.
“I’m looking forward to making TMG’s world class services available to more clients and helping existing clients continue to successfully grow their own businesses.
“It’s an exciting time to join TMG as the company moves confidently into the next phase of its growth.”
Kevin’s extensive maritime experience was developed from 17 years in the Royal Naval Submarine Service to, more recently, sales of marine terminal and supply chain optimization solutions to principally the oil and gas majors worldwide.
He has held key positions at Quintiq (Dassault Systemes Group), Cirrus Logistics Ltd (CentriQ Group) and Emerson Process Management (CSi).
In 2015 he founded Portunus-Solutions Ltd, a solution brokerage and referral partner to selected supply chain and advanced maintenance solution vendors.
Working to TMG’s accredited ISO 9001 standard, Kevin is responsible for TMG’s business development activities, including the acquisition of new business and additional partners. His role also includes maintaining fruitful relationships with the wider TMG sales teams, existing customers and partner organizations.
Malcolm Parrott, TMG Managing Director, said: “Kevin is an internationally experienced, entrepreneurial sales professional with a highly successful background.
“He will lead our expansion into new markets whilst continuing to grow relationships with existing clients and ensuring that our high standards of honesty and ethical practice are maintained throughout the sales cycle.
“We are very pleased to welcome Kevin aboard.”

We’re delighted to announce that we have successfully gained international recognition for the quality of our services and operations with the International Organisation for Standardisation’s ISO 9001 certification.
ISO 9001 is recognised worldwide as the international benchmark for quality within an organisation.
By achieving its ISO 9001 certification, we are able to demonstrate to our customers and suppliers that our systems meet the high standards set out by the International Organisation for Standardisation.
To gain the ISO 9001 certification, we had to demonstrate our dedication and commitment to meeting our customers’ needs – operating efficient management processes and delivering consistent, good quality products and services.
TMG managing director Malcolm Parrott said: “Our commitment to excellence is the driving force for success at TMG.
“We are delighted to meet the rigorous standards of the ISO 9001. It is a further demonstration of our quality for all of our clients, partners and business associates.”
“The ISO certification will allow us to continue to grow the business as we go from strength to strength in the years ahead.”
An external audit will be carried out annually by a third party to ensure our systems are maintained and any non-conformances are noted for correction.
The ISO accreditation was gained through by ISO consultancy and quality management specialist QMS International.
QMS auditor Jerry Martin said: “On completion of the compliance audit, I found all documentation to be in good order and well recorded and in keeping with the requirements of the standard.
“The staff headed by Malcolm W Parrott, managing director, demonstrated commitment to continual improvement and customer satisfaction.
“During the audit the team were very motivated and enthusiastic about their business and its future, showing a true interest and commitment to meeting the requirements of the ISO 9001: 2008 Standard.
“The quality of their customer and project files was exceptional and I was particularly impressed with the presentation of their tender applications.”
