The Murray, Cormack Associates partnership was established in 1972 by Maitland Murray and the late Douglas Cormack, joined in 1991 by naval architect Dennis Davidson and in 1998 by marine engineer-surveyor Jim Abernethy. Together we have created a very committed team, with many years of combined experience in various marine-related areas allowing us to provide an unrivalled level of service to both private and corporate clients from our Clyde and West Coast offices.
Each partner is a full member of the Yacht, Designers & Surveyors Association (YDSA) and the British Marine Federation (BMF) with both Maitland and Dennis members of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA). Jim is a member of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology [IMarEST].
