The John Percival Leadership Award: “Commitment to Training, Commitment to Crew”

 Captain John Percival’s Legacy:

An advocate for onboard training and crew development, John established JPMA (John Percival Marine Associates) as a crew training centre in the late '90s, dedicated to fostering high standards across all crew levels and departments. His passion was inspiring students to return to their vessel emboldened and ready to nurture junior crew.

 In remembrance of his vision, the John Percival Leadership Award was established in 2014, to recognise and reward individuals across all levels of crew, who embody his ideals of crew development, mentorship and dedication.

About the Award:

The award has consistently celebrated crew members who demonstrate exceptional leadership qualities, going above and beyond in guiding and nurturing their peers, ensuring high standards across various departments.

In 2024, JPMA once again seeks nominations of exceptional crew members who have not only maintained high standards but have also inspired their peers in an ever-evolving maritime landscape.

We're looking for nominations that showcase extraordinary leadership qualities that have supported and uplifted crew members, especially in these turbulent times.

Do you have a remarkable leader on board your vessel? A crewmember who goes above and beyond to mentor and inspire? Someone who embodies commitment to training and crew development?

It could be a Bosun guiding career paths, an Engineer sharing insights into engine room operations, or a Chef fostering culinary skills among the crew.

Nominate them for this prestigious award - share your stories and tell us why they deserve to be the recipient of the 2024 John Percival Leadership Award.

Nominations can be submitted via email to mate@hss.ac.uk, detailing why the nominee deserves this prestigious award.

The deadline for submissions is Friday December 20, 2024.
