Company History

ACM is an integrated oil transportation broker, facilitating seaborne trade in crude oil and petroleum products worldwide.

Present CEO Johnny Plumbe co-founded the Company in 1982, since then ACM has grown to become one of the leading international tanker brokers that provides a range of services including spot/period chartering, derivatives brokerage, finance, sale and purchase, new buildings and demolition. Over the past 27 years, the Company has matured into a successful tanker broking company and has created a strong record of staff retention, thereby assisting in building and maintaining strong long-term relationships, at all levels within client organisations. ACM's services continue to evolve to meet the needs of those buying, selling and transporting oil.

ACM was admitted to AIM on 6 December 2006. We have expanded our international operations and now employ over 90 staff with offices based in London, Singapore, India and China. On 6 December 2007 the Group acquired ACM Shipping Services, a company focusing on sale and purchase of ships. Then on 23 June 2008 the Group acquired the Shipbroking business of Harris & Dixon Shipbrokers, a business specialising in small tankers.
