ICR Integrity (ICR), a leading global provider of specialist maintenance and integrity solutions, has announced the promotion of Alan McQuade to group managing director.
Alan joined the company in 2018 as chief financial officer and has played a pivotal role in developing the company’s strategy for the global energy market laterally as chief financial & strategy officer.
His promotion coincides with Chief Executive, Willie Rennie, moving into a consultancy role as he steps down from his position to pursue other interests.
Originally Chief Executive of now ICR-owned Walker Technical, Willie has strengthened the business and helped it to adapt to the challenges posed by the Covid epidemic during his return to the company over the past 20 months. He will provide on-going consultancy support to the end of 2021 to assist with growth initiatives including building international presence, further diversifying into new markets and sectors, and supporting the company’s global hubs and partners.
Willie commented: “Although stepping away from my role at ICR, I remain completely invested in the business and team who I have worked with over many years. It has been a privilege to sit alongside the ICR Management and staff and I am confident Alan will use the solid foundation to further expand and grow the business both in the UK and internationally.
Alan said: “I’m delighted to be moving into the role of group managing director, especially poignant as we celebrate 10 years in business as ICR. We are very grateful for everything Willie has achieved in driving the business’s strong capability in difficult market conditions whilst positioning it for future growth. We are really excited for the opportunities ahead with further international partnerships now established increasing our local presence, securing long term hire contracts for our rental businesses, increasing the service capabilities to meet growing demand in onshore and renewables markets and launching our full lifecycle OMNI asset integrity software.”
