V. Group Chief Executive Officer, Ian El-Mokadem, who was appointed to the position in October 2017, has left the company by mutual agreement, with immediate effect and has been replaced by board member Graham Westgarth.

Westgarth has been a member of the board since September 2018 and has considerable maritime experience (nearly 50 years in the industry).

V.Group Chairman, John Pattullo, said, "Ian oversaw a substantial investment programme which delivered new state-of-the-art systems in critical areas such as vessel management, as well as the management and mobilization of seafarers.  He has also been instrumental in establishing a Group-wide set of values for our colleagues with safety at the core, which leaves a lasting legacy for our organization."
