Pipeline engineering company Stats Group has appointed Angus Bowie as regional director for the Middle East and north Africa.
The Kintore firm said the move heralded a major expansion in the region.
Mr Bowie was previously technical director and has relocated to Abu Dhabi where he will oversee the opening of new workshop and warehousing facilities and recruitment.
Stats was recently awarded a 10-year multimillion-pound contract by Qatargas and views the Middle East as a key territory for dramatically growing the business and rolling out its patented pipeline isolation tools and services. It expects to invest about £3.2million over three years in facilities and engineering and support staff in Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Ras al Khaimah, with Saudi Arabia and Oman also in its sights. Chief executive Pete Duguid said the Middle East and north Africa region would contribute 30% of the company’s forecast £20million revenue in 2012, growing substantially in successive years.
