While ocean sailing began as a childhood pastime, it later set the stage for Iain Davidson’s career in naval engineering. Today, Iain’s position as the Electrical Systems Manager at AMT combines his enduring fascination with the seas and expertise in engineering.

Last week, we held our annual winter luncheon. It’s become an important mid-year marker for our team, not only as another opportunity to bring everyone together to unwind and share a few laughs but also as a chance to pause and acknowledge another half-year of rewarding and dedicated work in the industry we love – naval engineering.

Our amazing team has been a well-kept secret at AMT, but we think it’s high time we changed that! Meet Andrew Cooper – AMT’s Hull Department lead, a role that spans Naval Architecture, Structural Design and Outfitting.

We are proud to announce that we are continuing our support of Soldier On by upgrading our gold sponsorship and signing on as a Platinum Pledge Partner.
