Richard Fulford-Smith names new CEO at Affinity as succession plan revealed
Lucy Hine
Shipbroker Richard Fulford-Smith will step away from his hands-on leadership position at Affinity (Shipping) at the end of the year and move into the role of chairman of the board with a new chief executive stepping in to head the brokerage.
Managing partner Fulford-Smith said there is a need to manage the succession in limited-liability partnership Affinity — the shipbroking business he set up in 2015.
Under his plan, Affinity head of clean petroleum products (CPP) Daniel Hockey will become the company’s first CEO.
Fulford-Smith describes Hockey as an “exceptional head of CPP who understands the business backwards, forwards and sideways”, “a proper team player” and “a very good bloke”.
