Spinnaker and Eurofin form ship finance recruitment joint venture

International maritime recruitment specialist Spinnaker Consulting, and leading ship finance consultant Eurofin, have formed a joint venture specialising in the recruitment of personnel in ship finance-related markets.

Spinnaker Finance will focus on the placement of senior, experienced ship finance professionals, using advanced search techniques embodying the exclusivity and confidentiality for which both Spinnaker and Eurofin are renowned throughout the shipping markets.

Spinnaker managing director Phil Parry says, ìIn the process of building up a vibrant and unique shipping recruitment database, Spinnaker has developed a strong candidate base of ship finance professionals. We decided that the best way to service those candidates effectively was to pool our expertise with that of a specialist ship finance consultant with strong contacts in the banking industry. Eurofin, with its proven track record of identifying and facilitating international ship finance transactions, and its in-depth knowledge of the markets and the people who drive them, was our first choice.î

Eurofin director Anthony Zolotas says, ìWe are delighted to be working with Spinnaker on this exciting project. It is in our interests, and in the interests of everybody involved in the ship finance sector, to put together the right people with the right jobs at the right time. It is people, as well as money, that oil the wheels of ship finance. Spinnaker is the market leader in maritime recruitment, and its reputation for integrity and professionalism fits very well with our own, and makes us logical partners in this specialist venture.î
