Viking Crew opens new office in Guernsey

Viking Crew, part of the Viking Maritime Group, has decided to bring its employment and payroll services in-house and has formed a new company in Guernsey called Viking Crew Guernsey Limited (VCGL). It will serve as its dedicated global employment and payroll office from 1st October 2020.

VCGL has been established in partnership with leading employment and payroll specialists and the new office will have a dedicated team based on-island working directly with the current Viking Crew teams in Dover, Auckland and Fort Lauderdale.

With the coronavirus pandemic affecting day-to-day business, Viking Crew has been looking at how it can streamline its internal processes and add even more value to its customer services, keeping its ethos, “Placing People First”, at the heart of everything it does.

Tom Becker, director of VCGL said, “I am very pleased to be launching Viking Crew Guernsey together with Tom de la Mare as a joint venture between Oceanskies and Viking Maritime Group. It’s been an exciting time, taking our IT development to the next level,  which will allow us to provide a seamless integration of our app-based services to Viking Crew clients, from the cruise industry and specialist operators to luxury yachts.

“Tom and I look forward to the next set of challenges and building a strong and stable business based on providing the highest level of service.”

Paul Rutterford, director of operations at Viking Crew, added, “This is an extremely exciting time for Viking Maritime Group, being able to offer our very own in-house employment and payroll operation based in Guernsey. In turn it will allow us to provide a more bespoke and tailored service, which I am confident will be of benefit to our portfolio of clients.”

Viking Crew’s clients will continue to work with their current crew management team, ensuring all employees have MLC compliant SEA’s, the correct documentation and certification for the provision of employment payroll and all the support services it provides.

VCGL is looking forward to the next chapter in its development and is confident that by creating and operating these in-house services, it will be able to provide better efficiency, service, cost and control for all clients.
