DV Howells celebrates 60 years with a name change
DV Howells celebrated its 60th anniversary as the oldest oil spill response company by announcing
its name change to Braemar Howells to reflect its part in the Braemar Shipping Services Group plc.
It recently celebrated its 60 years’ birthday in style with a jazz night and dinner on a Thames River cruise
through the heart of London.
Company staff past and present together with family members of Danny Vernon Howells,
who established the company in May 1948 in Milford Haven, West Wales, rubbed shoulders with industry
representatives from as far afield as Canada, Nigeria and South Africa to congratulate a company
that has proved beyond any doubt that all it takes for successful longevity is passion,
hard work and professionalism working as a team.
Simon Rickaby, Managing Director of Braemar Howells, who dealt with his first spill in Nigeria in 1978
and has been at the company’s helm for the past 21 years, paid tribute to employees past and present,
for their hard work and dedication that has resulted in the company celebrating this significant anniversary
and its record breaking annual results.
“Tonight’s theme is to say thank you to our clients and suppliers and to all those
who have been part of the Howells family for the past 60 years. It is a case of saying thank you
for the past 60 years as DV Howells and to look forward to the next 60 years
under our new name Braemar Howells, as we continue in our aim to be a client’s natural choice” said Simon Rickaby.
