Pressure Test Solutions (PTS) has appointed Kevin Bain to its board as the Aberdeen-based firm prepares for the next phase in its development.
He steps up from the role of operations manager with the energy industry specialist to become operations director and will also become a shareholder in the business.
Managing director Gary Notman, who completed a deal in 2015 to take sole ownership of the business, has underlined the importance of what he views as a key decision for the future of PTS.
He said: “Kevin has been with the company since day one and his experience, knowledge and commitment has been vital in driving us forward.
“With ambitious plans for the future, Kevin will have a major part to play in the next chapter and I’m delighted he will be doing so as a director and shareholder. It is an acknowledgement of the excellent work he has done during his time with PTS but also demonstrates the building blocks we are putting in place for the months and years ahead.”
PTS, established in 2007, is a major player in the rental, sale and calibration of pressure testing equipment. It has also diversified to include hazardous area equipment rental in addition to the supply of pumps, flushing units, hose reelers, hammer unions and communication radios.
Kevin Bain said: “I’m delighted to become a director and shareholder of PTS and welcome the opportunity to work with Gary as we move forward with our plans for the company. Like the whole team, we are enthusiastic about the opportunities we see.
“There has been a focus on expanding our range and that will continue to be the case. Pressure testing will always be at the heart of the business but we listen to our customers and have shown our ability to diversify, which will be more important than ever during a period of great change in the energy sector.
“Our roots are in Aberdeen and the North Sea but we are looking beyond that to overseas markets. Wherever we operate, the commitment to the highest possible standards of customer service. Both Gary and I view our people as our greatest asset, with the expertise we have within the business valued by our customers.”
