128 Fran Collins, CEO, Red Funnel

Happy New Year 2020! 

We are kicking off the new decade with Fran Collins, Chief Executive Officer, Red Funnel. Fran has a dual license and has trained to become both a Master Mariner and a Chief Engineer, however, the life on the Bridge seems to interest her more.

What Fran is sharing with us is music to my ears. We speak about what impact connectivity has had on life onboard, how people now know what they are missing at home and how that can be a double sword. Fran brings up the culture change that the maritime industry needs to become more attractive to the young generation and how important it is to have role models. 

I am interested in hearing your view, what do you think about this episode, the 128th? I am all ears at @lenagothberg in most channels. And hey, help spread the word! That's a nice gesture for someone you care about.

Thank you for listening!
