BSI Marine Equipment Group has appointed Mark Barwell as chief commercial officer (CCO) with immediate effect.

“I am delighted Mark has accepted this role,” says Morten Madsen, CEO for BSI Marine Equipment Group, which is based in Denmark. “Mark brings extensive experience, knowledge and insight to the role as he has worked for 20 years as a sales director for OYS and later OMS.
