Plymouth-based coatings specialist has undergone a group restructure and rebrand as part of a growth strategy to diversify into new industries – and is even working on repair contracts in the hurricane ravaged Caribbean.
MS Yacht Services is now called MS Global Solutions. The firm is an internationally renowned specialist for protective coating applications originally working in the yacht industry but now providing surface protection services across a range of industries such as construction, automotive, public transport, aviation and medical industries in the UK, British Virgin Islands and Dubai.
It comes after MS Global Solutions underwent a period of rapid expansion over the past two years through significant growth of its international client base and setting up locations in Dubai and UK.
And the company is currently working on the firm’s biggest project to date, by deploying craftsmen to the British Virgin Islands to repair, restore and rejuvenate a full fleet of chartered yachts after they were damaged in Hurricane Irma in 2017.
“The driving force behind the group restructure and rebrand was to create an identity that would allow us to consolidate the services we offer to different industries,” said Stefan Fisher, managing director of MS Global Solutions. “This comes at a time when the company is ready to move into its next chapter of our strategy.”
The company has also made significant investment in the R&D of its surface protection products that fall under the brand name of 2MS.
Mr Fisher said: “We have welcomed new members to our board as part of the group restructure, each of whom are experts in their chosen fields.
“With the formation of MS Global Solutions, we endeavour to provide the same level of professionalism and quality that the company has become renowned in delivering cost efficient and transparent solutions for surface problems across multiple industries.”
MS Global Solutions is also in the process of managing the distribution of its protective coating products directly to the public and trade.
To accommodate this, the firm has invested heavily in the regeneration of a warehouse in Plymouth, which will see 2MS products becoming available to the public for the first time.
Mr Fisher also revealed plans for international expansion into Europe in 2020 as well as the development of green and eco-friendly solutions, where possible, on products that aim to reduce time and application costs for customers.
