Aberdeen oil and gas engineering consultant Apply Altra has named Bill Yuile as its new managing director.
He takes over from Agnar Kongshaug, who had been managing Apply Altra for 10 months while also carrying out his duties as vice-president of engineering at the Norwegian parent.
Mr Yuile was previously business-development director at the firm, which he joined in October last year.
He has nearly 40 years of experience working with contractor organisations in the oil and gas sector. Mr Yuile said he planned to continue diversifying the business, owned by Apply Sorco, into multi-discipline engineering.
He added: “Over the past six months it has become clear to me that Apply Altra stands on very strong foundations and has the full commitment of its owners. We now have a proven track record in engineering large greenfield modifications in the North Sea, a record that we intend to build on and enhance.”
