Furmanite International, the specialist engineering and technical services company, has appointed a new director of sales, Gareth Morgan, to head up its national and international sales network. The appointment follows the move of Mike Tucker to take up the role of business development director for the company.
Morgan will be responsible for driving Furmanite International’s sales activity for its raft of products and services, across the broad range of industries Furmanite services in the UK and overseas territories. He is tasked, in his new role, with supporting the company’s continued growth, and achieving some ambitious expansion targets.
Morgan joins the company with in-depth knowledge and extensive experience of the marketplace in which Furmanite operates. He has previously held senior posts within international oil services company Expro international Group, where he was responsible for West Africa, North Africa and Middle East sales through hands-on leadership of business departments and teams.
With ten years in the oil and gas sector, as well as previous experience including energy and engineering consultancy and a regional business manager role in the pharmaceutical sector, Morgan brings a valuable insight into the needs of national and international companies across a range of industry sectors, for whom sustained, uninterrupted production is critical.
“I am tremendously enthused by the value proposition that Furmanite’s services represent and am convinced that our product offering is second to none,” Morgan said. “The benefits for clients using our wide range of services geared to minimising downtime and keeping their assets operating and earning are enormous. It’s very exciting to be able to take such a strong service and product offering to market and work with the team to develop the opportunities to help clients reap the benefits.”
He adds: “Furmanite enjoys an enviable reputation, and that’s due in no small part to the quality of its people, processes and technologies. Our customers aren’t always aware of the impressive portfolio of products and services we offer, and it’s our job to introduce them to the advantages of using Furmanite in these additional product areas. We have substantial growth targets to achieve and I look forward to my role in driving our sales efforts forward.”
Furmanite International managing director Paul Brown commented: “I am delighted to announce Gareth’s appointment as director of sales. His considerable experience in the engineering services market will enhance our already successful operation and help to further develop our position in the UK and internationally. Gareth heads an experienced sales team offering a genuine understanding of the challenges faced by our clients, and helping them to meet these by keeping their plants operating efficiently. As our business grows we will continue to deliver the very high levels of support, safety and quality, that our clients rightly demand.”
