James Davis
Managing Director
I have worked within the Defence sector for over 20 years, leading transformation programmes, major campaigns and businesses, most recently within the Maritime sector. As Managing Director of KBS Maritime, my focus is on working with our employees, Customers, industrial partners and the local community to continuously improve the services we delivery. The Future Maritime Support Programme (FMSP) contract provides an exciting opportunity to deliver a step-change in performance through investment and the application of best practice systems and processes at Portsmouth Naval Base. In parallel, we can support delivery of ‘Net Carbon Zero’ targets and the ‘Digitisation’ of support services.
