In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
Gibbs & Cox Inc., a leading naval architecture and marine engineering firm, yesterday announced the appointment of Ray Sheldon as the company’s chief operating officer (COO).
In his new role, Mr. Sheldon will be responsible for providing operational oversight and direction of all Gibbs & Cox programmes, and for the on-time delivery of quality naval architecture and engineering products. He will also be responsible for the professional staffing and training of Gibbs & Cox employees to ensure that customers’ requirements are successfully met.
Rick Biben, chief executive of Gibbs & Cox commented, “No other American naval architecture firm can match Gibbs & Cox’s 85 years of naval and commercial ship design and engineering.
“Ray brings decades of invaluable engineering and programmatic experience in direct support of multi billion-dollar customers which will only improve our strong record of technical innovation and superior programme execution.”
Upon joining the firm, Sheldon brings with him many years of marine industry engineering and programme leadership to his new position.

He plans to continue supporting Gibbs & Cox as a part-time employee until his retirement at the end of the year.
