Commenting on the appointment, Neon CEO Martin Reith said Wilson has the “right credentials and commitment” to support the company’s goal of becoming a leading player in the marine market.
“We have identified marine as a key area of long-term growth for Neon as we move the business forward, and see significant scope to expand our offering in this space,” Reith said. “I am therefore delighted to appoint Angus to this new role.”
“With his strong relationships and exceptional levels of technical and industry expertise, Angus’s appointment is testament to the level of talent within the business and Neon’s aim to grow,” Reith added.
