Morgère, the trawl systems manufacturer, has appointed François Charrayre as its new design engineer.

François joins Morgère from electric utility company EDF where for the last three years he worked as a research engineer. In his new role with Morgère, he will be responsible for the development of new designs of trawl doors and associated fishing equipment.

Michel Dagorn, director of Morgère, said: “François brings to Morgère much experience in engineering design and will play a vital role as we continue our development programme for innovative new types of trawling systems.”

In recent years, Morgère has successfully developed the Exocet trawl door and the Cyclops pair trawl monitoring system. The company is now looking to build upon these successes by developing further new designs.
