Aberdeen-based accommodation specialist Aiken Group has announced the appointments of two key members of staff to head up its recently-opened office in England.
The centrally placed Aiken Accommod8 Ltd office in York was opened in late 2016 to efficiently service the company’s growing client base in southern markets. The move was spearheaded by a collaboration with US-based blast rated module provider Hunter Buildings to form a strategic alliance in a sales and rental capacity, and facilitate further exploration into emerging markets including petrochemical, refinery, onshore commercial projects and others.
