Dispatches No. 439

Dear Members

You may have heard the news this week that two of our members Videotel and Seagull have been acquired by a company called Oakley Capital Investments Limited. Over the past 40 years, Videotel and Seagull have established themselves as the best-in-class providers of e-learning to the maritime sector globally and speaking to the companies concerned, this bringing together of these two brands will open-up significant opportunities for ship managers keen to broaden and strengthen their training offerings. 

 

Indeed, according to Roger Ringstad, Managing Director of Seagull, as the shipping industry continues to make advancements in digitalisation, we see significant opportunities to further enhance the breadth and depth of products and services we offer our clients. “In Videotel and Oakley we believe that we have the perfect partners to support us on that journey.”

 

Oakley Capital Private Equity L.P. and its successor funds, Oakley Capital Private Equity II, Oakley Capital Private Equity III and Oakley Capital IV, are unlisted, Western Europe-focused mid-market private equity funds with the aim of providing investors with significant long-term capital appreciation.

We wish all concerned good luck for the future.

Seafarers UK 24 Peaks Challenge, 6-7 July

For one of the toughest, most exhilarating and empowering corporate events, Seafarers UK is recruiting teams of four-seven walkers, plus a support driver per team, for the charity’s 2019 fundraising event in July. Teams need a good base level of fitness and a commitment to training, including steep hill hiking to prepare for the two 10-14 hour back-to-back days. To contribute towards vital funding to support seafarers, every team pledges to raise a minimum of £4,000 through fundraising. Every team member receives a T-shirt, medal and great support for their preparation and fundraising, both in the build-up to the event and during the exciting weekend. After this fantastic team-building and truly challenging event, team meetings will never be the same! Does your organisation have what it takes?
