UK Service Manager Appointed for Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Business

Power and automation technologies leader, ABB (UK), has appointed Troy Stewart as head of service for its oil, gas and petrochemical business in the UK and Caspian regions.

The role sees Troy leading ABB’s service operations in the UK and Caspian, with a combined team of over 100 personnel. “It is a rapidly expanding and growing market that requires increasing service levels to meet customer demands now and future,” says Troy. “While we are seeing continuing demand for traditional healthcare services, operators are looking to companies such as ABB to provide advanced services such as alarm management, advanced control and remote operations.”

The growth in the market is primarily from ABB’s installed base as its customers strive to maximise production by updating or modifying their automation systems while ensuring optimum safety requirements are met. “We are also experiencing an increasing demand for electrical and telecoms and have a range of services that are attractive to the market.”

Troy has worked for over 25 years in various companies including ABB, Aspentech and Rockwell, providing solutions and services to the oil and gas industry. His experience extends from upstream offshore and onshore well heads, through pipelines, refining and downstream processing plants. Troy has a B.Sc. in Physics, Masters in Control Engineering and an MBA.
