Lewis Coats

Senior Business Consultant - Maritime, Ports & Shipping

With many years in recruitment, including more than 4 years specialising in Maritime, Ports & Shipping, I now work as a Senior Business Consultant at JB Andrews, helping organisations across the global maritime sector identify and secure exceptional leadership and technical talent.

My focus spans executive appointments, technical leadership positions, port operations, and commercial shipping roles, partnering with shipowners, ports, terminals, logistics providers, and maritime businesses worldwide.

What sets maritime apart for me is that it’s more than just a market I recruit within, it’s an industry I genuinely enjoy following and learning about.

From the ships and infrastructure to the people who keep global trade moving, I’ve always been fascinated by the sector and the critical role it plays in everyday life. The reality is that the world simply wouldn’t function without maritime.

I take a consultative approach to recruitment, combining market knowledge, industry insight, and a strong network to help businesses find the niche talent that drives long-term success.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your team or explore your next opportunity, I’d be happy to connect.
