BAE Systems SFS director appointed chair of marine skills
group
Nigel Borowski,
human resources director at BAE Systems Surface Fleet Solutions,
has been appointed as the new Chair of Semta’s Marine Sector
Strategy Group (SSG), following a nomination from the Shipbuilding
and Shiprepairers Association.
The Marine SSG is an employer-led group whose membership
includes professional and trade associations, trade unions and
other stakeholders in the marine sector. It was formed to guide the
development of the Marine Sector Skills Agreement (SSA), launched
by Semta in July 2006. The SSA sets out the skills the marine
sector needs to sustain growth and competitiveness in the years
ahead and identifies how those skills will be supplied.
Lynn Tomkins, Semta’s UK policy director, said: “I am delighted
to announce Nigel’s appointment. He takes over from Mike Leece of
South West Marine who, along with Ray Davies, led the industry to
complete the Marine Sector Skills Agreement. I look forward to
continuing to work with Nigel and the SSG on the implementation of
the SSA.”
Nigel Borowski said: "The SSG plays a vital role within the
marine sector and I am looking forward to taking up the position of
Chair. The promotion of skills, learning and development within
industry is a key driver in the overall success of the sector and I
am keen to support the group's commitment to this."
