1. CURRICULUM VITAE – Suzanne Kerr
PROFILE
Experienced Finance Director / Financial Controller, working within a SME environment. Head of Finance
in the UK since November 1999, and an active member of the Senior Management Team (SMT)
throughout this time. Reporting responsibilities have been to the UK based MD and the USA based CFO.
For the last three years I have been the UK Financial Controller for Marine Systems Technology Ltd,
whose activities are the engineering design and manufacture of speciality doors into the marine and naval
sectors. The turnover of this business has varied due to the high dependency upon one major customer
(£5.2m at its peak and £1.8m at its low). Prior to this I held the position of Finance Director for a company
manufacturing flame retardants and smoke suppressants, chemical blending, packing and distribution,
supply of specialist chemicals. The turnover of the UK group has varied due to the acquisition and sale of
businesses (£36m at its peak and £4m at its low).
Currently Financial Controller of two UK based companies, owned by a privately USA based global
parent company, PaR Systems Inc., reporting to the American based CFO and the UK based MD. The
role demands a good working knowledge of a broad range of financial and business areas, within a
hands-on environment and in compliance with all UK legislative requirements and regulations.
Since April 2012, when I took on the role of Financial Controller with Marine Systems Technology Ltd,
the group strategy has been to align the newly acquired owner managed business with the USA based,
privately owned, global group PaR Systems Inc., to develop business in new market sectors to reduce
the dependence of the business on one key customer, and to win business on the Type 26 Global
Combat Ships. This was undertaken whilst managing the business through a very challenging time, when
the major long term contract came to an end, and dealing with the fallout of the significant time delays
before the new long term contracts commenced with our major customer.
From Oct 2008 to Nov 2011, the company strategy was improve profitability, stability and market position
to increase shareholder value, with the intention of selling the business. Following a very difficult trading
period, involving very volatile and ever increasing raw material prices, strong Chinese competition, the
Credit Crunch and additional legislation (e.g. REACH), the remaining trading business of the group was
sold to Società Chimica Larderello on 30th
June 2011, for a price higher than the Board expected.
Following a transition period, the remaining group companies will be made dormant and struck off.
From Aug 1999 until Oct 2008, the UK group was owned by Petroferm Inc., a USA based privately owned
group with a turnover of $100 million, and, although post 2004 the UK companies were relatively small in
themselves, fell within the structure of a larger group, bringing with it all the reporting and performance
criteria of the parent. Since the spin-off from Petroferm Inc. in Oct 2008 the standard of reporting and the
ongoing measurement of performance criteria have been retained, where appropriate.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT
MARINE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY LTD (owned by PaR Systems Inc.) – Financial Controller
April 2012 to date
In April 2012 PaR Systems Inc. acquired Marine Systems Technology Ltd and it’s sister company MST
Engineering Ltd., whose activities were the Engineering Design, Certification, Manufacture and Sale of
specialist doors for the Marine and Naval Sectors. The group turnover was £5.2m.
Being aware that the main deliverables on the company’s major contract for speciality doors, for the UK
CVF Royal Navy aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, was due to be
delivered to the customer at the end of 2013, the role of the SMT was to ensure the company met all the
deliverables on the CVF contract, whilst developing new business to bridge the gap between the next
lucrative contract for speciality doors on the Type 26 Global Combat Ships. A major part of developing
new business was to design, engineer and manufacture prototype doors for testing, to obtain the
necessary Type Approval Certification from Lloyds Register, and submitting Bids to customers.
Whilst some new business was successfully obtained and networks established within new markets, the
business has not as yet been sufficient to remove the company’s dependence upon it’s major customer,
ultimately the MOD. The company submitted numerous Bids for deliverables on the Type 26 Frigate,
involving the submission of prototype engineering designs to specification along with supporting
information, part of which were costings for Non Recurring Expenditure (design and testing to achieve
type approval) and Recurring Expenditure (for production units). Unfortunately there have been significant
unanticipated time delays in the procurement start date for the MOD, not least hampered by the Elections
and the Scottish Referendum. At this point, the annual turnover of the two companies was £1.8m.
Having successfully won some of the Type 26 business (approx £45m over the next 13 years), with more
bids being considered, the company has now achieved security of business for the next 13 ship sets (13
years +). The group turnover is expected to be £5m for the coming year with 74% of this revenue coming
from one major customer (95% in 2012). The business is expected to grow substantially over the next
year or so. To add to this, further business is developing in the Offshore, Cruise and Nuclear sectors.
