As an engineer with a background in technical sales and marketing, Stephen is a great fit for the role in terms of being able to effectively communicate the technical aspects of our product lines designed for the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry. Given the advanced technologies and processes used in our products which are derived from the aerospace and defence industries, a technical background such as Stephen’s will greatly assist our dealings with clients within the region”.
