Shoreside recruiter SYR appoints head of technical recruitment

Specialist recruiter SYR Shoreside Maritime Recruitment has appointed Alisha O’Flanagan as its head of technical recruitment.
With much of her career spent recruiting in the maritime sector, O’Flanagan has built a network in the vessel design, naval architect and maritime engineering sectors. She joins SYR tasked with growing the brand’s already strong presence in the design and engineering sector both in the UK and Europe.
Founded four years ago, SYR works with employers in yacht brokerage, management, design, engineering, marinas and skilled trades. The company says this appointment will further bolster their position as a leader in specialist maritime recruitment.
Ed Ewer, CEO, says: “Having worked with Alisha earlier in the her maritime recruitment career, it’s a pleasure to be working with such a talented individual once again. She will bring not only an expansive network and knowledge from across the sector but also a strong grasp on process development and team growth.
“As we move into a new phase of growth and expansion across the wider maritime sector, her input will be invaluable to our success.”
O’Flanagan, SYR head of technical recruitment, says: “Ed and I have long known each other and worked well together in the past, so when I decided it was time for a new challenge, the offer to join the growing SYR team was a fantastic opportunity for me to not only work on my own career development but also to join an established team in a familiar sector.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to grow and am excited for the coming years with SYR.”
