Oil Consultants Expand Their International Team

Oil Consultants Ltd, the specialist recruitment agency for the oil and gas industry, has expanded its staff further this month by employing Gareth Allen as Business Delivery and Development Director for the Middle East and Africa. This move comes on the back of yet another year of record growth and global expansion.

In the past 24 months, Oil Consultants has followed an aggressive strategy for international growth which has seen it establish a team in Australia and a range of agents and satellite offices around the world to support an expanding field based team. Gareth has been recruited to service clients in the region (which also includes India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), providing both customer support services and new business development.

Helen Smith, CEO of Oil Consultants said, “We strongly believe that providing local support to our consultants and our clients is what helps us stand apart from other agencies in our industry. The opportunity to meet with people face to face is crucial in developing trust and understanding, elements that are vital when we are supplying personnel to do such vital tasks on projects.

Gareth comes to us with a strong background in recruiting for this industry and his past experience will be a great help to us going forward. We are confident that he will excel in this role and become a key part of our future development plans. Thanks to his input we are already looking towards increasing our network of agents in the region and to establishing our own office and team within the next year.

On joining the team Gareth said. “It is a thrill to be given this kind of opportunity with a company that is clearly going places. Their expansion into Australia has been very successful and I would like to create the same kind of results in my region. My area has such a diverse set of needs, from the well-established fields in the Middle East to emerging markets and new technologies in Africa. Oil Consultants already has significant experience in the area, including the supply of personnel to projects in high risk areas such as Iraq, so there is plenty for me to build on but also still so much more potential to explore.”

Oil Consultants Ltd provide individuals and teams of skilled technical personnel to clients in the upstream Oil and Gas industry. Headquartered in the UK with offices in numerous locations, including Brisbane, Australia, the company serves an international client base as well as offering a 24/7 service to its consultants.
