Presently he is a Non Exec Director of Glacier Energy Services providing strategic input to the board.

The new appointment will provide added strength and experience to the existing management team and support Flexlife in its continued growth both in Aberdeen and globally.

Stuart Mitchell, director of strategic development, said: “Ciaran has a wealth of experience in the industry and we are delighted to have him joining our team. This is a significant time for Flexlife as we continue moving forward with our growth plans - it is exciting to have Ciaran join us as our CEO to work with our strong team, delivering a high level service to our customers around the world.”

The Aberdeen-based company has expanded significantly over the last 12 months, with projects completed around the world and long-term agreements in place with a number of operators for integrity management services. Flexlife also provides innovative products and services to manage the service life and reduce the costs of flexible pipelines.
