EnerMech has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of Sandeep Sharma as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Sandeep is the former CFO of Stork, the mechanical, electrical and repair services business which employs 18,000 staff in 100 countries, and previously he was finance director at Bombardier Transportation. He joins EnerMech along with newly appointed chief executive officer Chris Brown as the business gears up for major global expansion following its acquisition by The Carlyle Group. Headquartered in Aberdeen, EnerMech employs 3500 staff across 40 locations in the UK, Norway, the Middle East, Caspian, Asia, Africa, Australia and Americas, working on large-scale projects across the oil and gas, LNG, renewables, defence, power, infrastructure and petrochemicals sectors. EnerMech CEO, Doug Duguid, said: “EnerMech will start the new decade on a strong footing with Chris Brown and Sandeep Sharma at the helm as they build on the very strong foundations established over the last decade. “We are delighted to have recruited two first class individuals with broad ranging international experience who will develop and deliver an ambitious business growth programme with the full support of The Carlyle Group.” Sharma added: “EnerMech is a well-respected business and I was fully aware of the excellent progress it has made in global energy sector over the last 11 years. I look forward to taking up this great opportunity to help shape EnerMech’s business strategy which will deliver sustainable and profitable long-term growth.” Current CFO and founding EnerMech director, Michael Buchan, will remain with the business until March 2020 on a part-time basis and retiring CEO Doug Duguid will continue in an advisory capacity during a planned transition period. NEW FACES Two new recruits are bringing a winning combination of youth and experience to the expanding team at leading valve and actuator supplier Bonomi (UK) Ltd. James Derrick has been appointed to the role of digital marketing assistant to help enhance and grow the company’s online presence. After initially studying Mechanical Engineering, Derrick’s increasing interest in online marketing led him to forge a career in this direction. His original engineering experience combined with his online marketing skills, giving him an excellent grounding in both disciplines. Derrick is currently heavily involved in the development of the company’s new website. Away from work, Birmingham-based James enjoys Club 100 Kart Racing and Squash. Also joining the Bonomi fold and with over four decades experience selling valves and actuators, Bob Buckley has a wealth of knowledge to bring to his new role supporting customers across the north of England and Scotland. Buckley commented: “Before joining Bonomi I didn’t appreciate quite how extensive a range of products it supplies and I’m now enjoying spreading the word about Bonomi’s great offering.” In his spare time Warrington-based Buckley enjoys cooking and following Manchester United. He is also kept busy attempting to reassemble his long-disbanded record collection in its original vinyl format. New recruits at Bonomi HCEE (Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe) has appointed Sungwoo (SW) Lee as the new managing director. With over 20 years of service at the Hyundai group, SW Lee brings a longstanding international sales career to Europe. He replaces mister J.H. Chun who will return to Korea where he will lead the international marketing team of HCE (Hyundai Construction Equipment). SW Lee was officially appointed as the new Managing Director for HCEE in December 2019. SW Lee is already very familiar with the European organization. Working as a construction equipment sales manager in the European subsidiary from 2005 till 2009, he has a good understanding of the dealer network, the European market requirements and culture. SW Lee will focus on a proactive sales strategy. By further growing the European dealer network, setting-up a key account management structure, and an advanced market-oriented product strategy, he plans to lead HCEE into gaining an increasingly profitable market share in the coming years. SW Lee said of his new position: “At HCEE we are striving to become a top player in the worldwide Construction Equipment business. In a stabilising European market, we wish to grow our market share in a sustainable and profitable way. Growth in our market share will lead to higher brand visibility. Growth in the quality and quantity of both our organisation and dealer network will be our primary goals to achieve this. We will continue to focus on the ‘3 Es’: Embrace our dealer network, Excel in what we do and Engage our internal teams.” EnerMech appoints new CFO to executive team HCEE announces new managing director James Derrick (left) and Bob Buckley.
