New head for Britannia’s Greek Office
Britannia P&I Club has announced that Konstantinos Samaritis will be taking over as head of its office in Greece with effect from 1 January 2020. Samaritis is a qualified Greek lawyer and accredited mediator.
He joined Britannia’s managers, Tindall Riley, in 2018, having previously worked in both Standard and Skuld’s Greek operations for ten years. Samaritis has also worked for an American listed shipowner and at a local law firm.
“This is exciting news” says Britannia’s CEO Andrew Cutler: “I am pleased that our team in Piraeus will be headed up by Samaritis, who has studied and worked in Greece for his whole career. The Greek market is very important to us and we believe that with Samaritis at the helm we will continue to grow and develop relationships with our local members”.
Samaritis takes over from David Harley, who is leaving Britannia with the club’s best wishes after twenty years’ service. (mw)
