QuEnSH Specialists Ltd, Health, Safety, Security, Environment and Quality (HSSEQ) industry leader, has created a new position of Managing Director.
Tracie Watson has been appointed to the post. The position of Managing Director has been instigated to guide the company through a planned period of international growth and development. Tracie Watson, formerly Managing Director at Cresent where, over a 25 year span, she oversaw the international growth of the company. QuEnSH, based in Foveran in Aberdeenshire, provides a full HSSEQ outsourcing service to industry sectors which include oil and gas, renewables, civil engineering and construction.
Sales and Operations Director Donna Hutchison, who set up QuEnSH Specialists Ltd, explains the reason for the creation of a managing director position. “QuEnSH has experienced a very successful period of growth over a number of years and the time is right for us to take a more strategic view of future development. A Managing Director of Tracie’s calibre will enable QuEnSH to internationalise and also help us to expand our service portfolio to our current client base too.”
Tracie Watson says of her appointment to the position of managing director, “QuEnSH has carved out a very successful niche in providing outsourced HSSEQ services. At a time when many firms with a strong customer base in oil and gas are not experiencing growth, QuEnSH continues to develop as either a supplement or a support to HSSEQ teams which need additional resource or specific skill sets, or for SMEs which have no dedicated HSSEQ department. We are already operating globally including in the Middle East and Asia, but my challenge at QuEnSH will be to plan for future growth not only in the UK but in further international regions and to grow and develop the brand awareness in our target markets.”
QuEnSH client Keith Moorhouse, Chief Executive of global equipment firm ATR says of Tracie’s appointment, “This is a strategic appointment for QuEnSH at a time when the benefits of outsourcing of the HSSEQ function especially within the oil and gas sector have never been clearer. We look forward to working with Tracie and the QuEnSH team.”
