• DR WILLIAMS: He takes up the post of UK National Hydrographer in January.
Civilian to take top UKHO job CHANGES in the management structure of the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office in Taunton mean that a civilian will take charge in January. After an open competition, DERA's Director of Sea Systems, Dr Wyn Williams, has been named as the new Chief Executive of the UKHO. When Rear Admiral John Clarke completes his five-year term of office next month, Dr Williams will take charge of the £45 million operation with 900 staff producing 3,300 charts and 220 nautical publications for seafarers all over the world. Admiral Clarke is Hygrographer to the Royal Navy, a position which has traditionally included the management of the UKHO. But under the new arrangements, the UKHO will be managed by a Chief Executive, and the post of Hydrographer of the Royal Navy will be taken by the Captain of the RN Hydrographic Squadron, currently Capt Mike Barritt. The Hydrographer to the Royal Navy will be a member of the management board of the UKHO and Chief Executives will be able to draw on the Navy's expert advice on all matters relating to the 'wet' side of hydrographics, where data is collected by the RN Hydrographic Squadron. The Navy is the UKHO's biggest customer and the office in Taunton provides the Fleet with almost all of the charts which it uses for exercises and operations around the world.
Captain lands job with pilots guild CAPT John Stoy has landed the job of Clerk to the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators. The appointment comes after a long career in the RNR and he has also been Secretary of London's East India and Athenaeum clubs.
