Northern Ireland-based firm MJM Marine has expanded its international offering with a new satellite office in Gdansk.

A local team from the marine outfitter visited the new office in Poland, meeting staff and conducting interviews for roles including Trainee Furniture Technologists and Designers.

The appointment of these new roles will expand the existing Design and Contract Management team as well as adding new roles such as logistics and technical engineering positions. The office in Gdansk plays a vital role in the support of key activities and projects at the company head office in Newry, Northern Ireland and across the world.

MJM HR and Legal Director, Elizabeth O'Connor said: "MJM Marine has long had a proud connection with Poland. A large group of our Northern Ireland workforce are originally from Poland and our supply chain has a strong Polish element also. Opening an office in Gdansk has been a great step in continuing our close relationship with the country and its citizens. It adds to our global expansion plans and commitment to attracting a diverse pool of talent and a strong supply chain throughout the EU, maintaining our status as a leader in the global marine outfitting market."

The new appointments will be joining the company at a time of significant growth and opportunity in the cruise industry. MJM will be commencing significant refurbishment work onboard cruise ship Marella Discovery in November this year. The work will see the outfitting of the cabins and suites as well as the introduction of Vyv antimicrobial lighting into the wet units.

Andrzej Pater, Design Manager in the Gdansk office, commented: "We really enjoyed welcoming the team from our Northern Ireland Head Office to Gdansk and working with them to grow the team based here. These new additions to the team will further assist us with supporting the activities and projects at the company Head Office in Northern Ireland such as the upcoming outfitting of Marella Discovery in Cadiz."
