Motive bolsters team with Norwegian appointment
01 DECEMBER 2014
Motive has strengthened its team with a key management appointment to accelerate further growth of the business.
Eddie Moore has been promoted to Head of Sales at its Norway office, just over a year after launching in the region.
Operating as Motive Offshore Services AS in Norway, the international division has experienced exceptional growth, establishing a reputable name in the area and completing its first year of business with strong turnover figures exceeding NOK 5m.
The firm, which specialises in the manufacturing and rental of high capacity winches, umbilical deployment equipment and specialised subsea equipment including subsea winches and baskets, has a fully operational base in Stavanger and has invested in excess of £2m in its marine equipment in the last year.
Mr Moore brings more than seven years of experience in the oil and gas lifting sector and will be responsible for driving sales activity and developing Motive’s client base and the brand identity in Norway. Mr Moore started work with Motive Offshore in May 2014 as a sales engineer, and will join Finn Wold and Ryan Thomson in Norway.
Motive Offshore has grown rapidly since launching less than four years ago and now has over 100 employees across its three bases in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Norway. The firm has future plans for additional staff and further investment in rental equipment, which will be showcased at the upcoming Subsea Expo in February 2015.
