Based at the company’s Aberdeen premises, Mr Booth will be responsible for driving key accounts for the business, working closely with the operations team in Aberdeen.

He has held several senior positions within the energy industry including hire division deputy manager at ACE Winches and key account manager at ATR Group.

Mr Booth said: “I am delighted to join such an innovative and forward thinking company such as Pipetech. It’s really exciting to be part of the business growth here in the UK and I look forward to widening our client base both in the UK and the Netherlands.”

Joining Pipetech’s Stavanger team Mr Karlsen brings a wealth of oil and gas experience, most recently in the role of sales engineer at Quickflange for more than five years, working with key operators including Statoil, Conoco-Phillips and Aker Solutions.

Mr Karlsen commented: “I am thrilled to be joining the Pipetech team in Stavanger and look forward to continuing to grow the company’s footprint in Scandinavia. Despite recent low oil prices, the region has emerged strong and there is a positive attitude amongst industry professionals, so it is an exciting time to be joining the business.”
