A leading hydraulics specialist has unveiled key appointments at its recently launched integrity division in Aberdeen, and at its Dundee headquarters.
Saturn Fluid Engineering recently announced plans to invest more than £500,000 in the creation of its new integrity division, Saturn Integrity Management Ltd which is based in 2000 sq. ft of warehouse and office space at Dyce Farm on the outskirts of Aberdeen.
Newly appointed Technical Manager Gerald Forbes has been involved with hydraulic and industrial hose and fittings since leaving college over 35 years ago while General Manager Les Brown brings 25 years of experience in hydraulic hose manufacturing and inspections services to his new role with the company.
Also based in Aberdeen will be Clark Walker who has taken up the role of Saturn Fluid Engineering Operations Manager following various roles within the hydraulics and integrity sectors over the last 15 years. Clark leads the service delivery team and site personnel, ensuring a safe and quality service is delivered to all our clients while ensuring efficient utilisation of our teams.
A further boost to the Saturn Fluid Engineering leadership team comes thanks to the appointment of Dundee-based Regional General Manager UK & Europe, Tom Pendlebury. With vast experience in rotating equipment, specialising in high energy pumps for the energy industry, he has held various senior roles and spent 20 years in the Middle East and has a breadth of international experience that covers Europe, Middle East, Africa and FSU states.
Welcoming the new members of the management team, company co-founder Ewen Clunie said: “Having the right people in the right place is the ideal nucleus from which we can press on with our plans to expand in both traditional and emerging markets, such as renewables.
“Our new facility in Aberdeen represents an important consolidation of our presence in the city and we look forward to building a team that will play a pivotal role in writing this exciting new chapter.”
Saturn was founded by Ewen and Shona Clunie in 2016 and is primarily focused on working with clients across a range of sectors including defence, marine and energy. It has a strong and enviable record of accomplishment in delivering dynamic, customer focused fluid management solutions using unrivalled technical expertise and support to consistently exceed customer expectations. Overseas work accounts for some 50% of Saturn’s business and, as well as its headquarters in Dundee and planned growth in Aberdeen, Saturn already has premises in Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai, and Australia.
