Regional director for Europe Phil Bentley said: “Chris Dixon brings with him a wealth of experience in the mechanical handling services sector, both in the UK and overseas. Our newly created Mechanical Handling Services business line merges the management of our cranes and lifting, hydraulics and training services divisions, allowing us to offer a more integrated service to the wider energy market. Chris will work closely with global business line director, John Morrison, to deliver this integrated solution.”

“Over the last 15 months we have optimised the talent we have within EnerMech and recruited where necessary to strengthen our skills base, while improving our systems and investing in new technology to enhance our long term performance. Our priority has been on understanding clients’ needs in this changed climate of a lower oil price and to ensure that our safety performance and service adds value to their business.”
