Wrapping Up 2024 for MARPRO Group
As we close the chapter on 2024, we at MARPRO Group reflect on a year that has been pivotal in our growth and transformation.

Since our founding in 2017, we’ve navigated two major phases of development. The first milestone came with the implementation of a highly effective Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and digital bookkeeping. The second transformative phase unfolded in 2024, driven by our continuous pursuit to become the most efficient and well-functioning recruitment firm in the maritime industry. Our mission is to deliver exceptional service, regardless of which consultant or MARPRO office handles the assignment.
An essential pillar of our approach is to “act globally but be present locally.” With offices in Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany, Norway, and soon Sweden, enhancing our systems and processes was a priority this year. To achieve this, we collaborated with a UK-based firm specializing in upscaling recruitment companies. Based on the feedback from them, we contracted with another consulting company in Sweden, to assist us customizing our sales & operation system. Over an intensive six-month period, a skilled process specialist consultant helped us analyse and map our entire operation, from A to Z. The result? We upgraded a top-tier CRM system and adopted a market-leading ATS, offering a seamless and efficient experience for both candidates and clients.
Today, MARPRO Group operates as a fully paperless company with meticulously documented processes, complete GDPR compliance, and robust cybersecurity measures.
Another milestone of 2024 was our official rebranding. We evolved from “MARPRO” to “MARPRO Group” and transitioned our digital presence to marpro-group.com — a reflection of our growth from a Danish enterprise to an international organization.
In line with our commitment to specialization, we made the strategic decision in 2024 to focus exclusively on our core service: recruiting top shore-based talent for the maritime industry. Consequently, we phased out our involvement in events and promotion services, even though these were profitable ventures.
This year, we meticulously reviewed every detail of our operations — refining templates, streamlining processes, and preparing for ISO certification. Despite the time-intensive nature of this transformation, we are proud to report a minimum growth of 12% for the year, marking our seventh consecutive year of growth.
Børsen Gazelle Award
We are honoured to have received the Børsen Gazelle Award in 2024 for doubling our turnover over the past four years — a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team.
In addition, we proudly became an official LinkedIn Enterprise Partner this year, enhancing our ability to connect with top talent and industry leaders. Our communication channels also flourished: our news platform, maritime-professionals.com, now draws approximately 100,000 monthly visits per month, and our LinkedIn groups, Maritime Professionals and Maritime Deck Officers, have grown to a combined 140,000 members.
As the founder of MARPRO Group, I am deeply gratified to see our vision come to life. We have established ourselves as a trusted partner for maritime companies worldwide, and we are poised for even greater growth in the years ahead.
A Heartfelt Thank You
I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our dedicated team members, our branch managers in The Netherlands and Germany, and our loyal clients, who continue to place their trust in us. Your support and commitment drive our success.
As we look forward to 2025, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with health, happiness, and prosperity.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
