OEM now has over 300 engines under long-term contracts with further contract wins forecasted in the coming months.
UAE General Manager – Russell Milne, said “The Middle East market has always been of interest to the Company, and we had worked remotely for several years. The Partnership with SOF has been the final piece of the puzzle to allow the dream to become a reality. The team has been working tremendously hard to make the region a success and the past 12 months have shown a great reward for that hard work. We have built a highly qualified team which we are continuing to build on, along with securing a great in-country network of suppliers and trusted partners. This has become key to our early success to date.”
Managing Director of OEM, Barry Park, said: “The key appointment of Russell Milne as our Country Manager has been a highlight to our operations in the country. The team he has built, and the service delivered is always highly praised by clients, the can-do attitude in the market has been seen as a very refreshing approach.”
Many people have been through the trials and tribulations of expansion and it’s never an easy thing to do and can be very daunting walking into the unknown when understanding local labour laws, guidelines, and cultures. SOF has worked closely with Russell and OEM to guide us along the way.
