ABERDEEN-based international energy consultancy Xodus Group has appointed a new corporate development director.
Phil Cooper has more than 35 years of experience and was most recently London general manager at Heerema Marine Contractors where he led a team of engineers engaged in heavy lift and subsea technical activities.
Previously, he was the global technology director at Intecsea.
This new role will see Cooper strengthen the Xodus leadership team as the business enters a new phase of growth in the UK, in response to increasing global demand for expert technical services in the energy industry.
Cooper said: “I am excited to be joining Xodus as the energy industry begins to turn the corner and rebuild after several difficult years. I have always admired the breadth and depth of expertise in Xodus, as well as their agility and entrepreneurial spirit.
“I look forward to working closely with my new colleagues around the world as Xodus continues to develop and grow.”
Steve Swindell of Xodus said: “Through senior roles in
both engineering and construction, Phil has gained an international reputation for his work in the industry.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
