An update, probably late, about the two outfits in the title. E & OE by the way.

AW Ship Managment is, as its name suggests, a ship management company based in the city of London. Originally it was known as AWS which many people, me included ,thought was Andrew Weir Shipping but it was not. The only connecion with Andrew Weir was that much of the AWS team were ex Andrew Weir staff. However, AW Ship Management also run Andrew Weir Yacht Management which leaves be a bit baffled.

Andrew Weir and Company Ltd has nothing to do with shipping (supposedly), it is a finance and investment company based apparently in or close to Oxford. This is interesting since the current Lord Inverforth - Andrew Peter Weir - lives in or near Oxford and is a sugeon in that city, if the information is correct. If not, then apologies. What is interesting is that one of the management team is Viscount Runciman and as many of you will know Runcimans were big players in the shipping world in days gone by!
