TITAN Torque Services has appointed a director of business development to lead its next phase of growth in the North Sea market and internationally.
Bruce Jepp, 39, has joined the offshore equipment provider from Smith Technologies and is said to have extensive international experience across a range of industry disciplines. The Aberdeen-based company provides pre-made drilling assemblies and drillbit protection equipment.
Managing director Keith Gaskin said: “It is great to bring someone with Bruce’s experience and industry knowledge on board at a time when we are looking to broaden both our service provision and customer base.”
Titan was formed in 2008 and recently doubled the size of its site at East Tullos Industrial Estate to 10,000 square feet to manage its growth. It expects its workforce to rise from six to 10 by the year-end.
Titan’s specially designed drillbit protector won the innovation award at the 2010 Grampian Awards for Business Enterprise and it is already widely used by North Sea operators.
