John said “I am delighted to be returning to the business where I started my career almost 49 years ago – and to support Altrad’s repositioning strategy to become a major contributor to the offshore oil and gas industry in the UK.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am to be joining at Altrad at such a growth-driven stage in its development and I look forward to using my skills and connectivity to support Altrad’s growth ambitions.”
The appointment builds on a number of investments Altrad are making to support the delivery of its 2026 strategy which will see it transform into a business that is 75% larger in 2026 than it is today.
Chris Garland, Altrad’s director of upstream operations commented “John’s experience and track-record in the sector is unparalleled and I have no doubt he will contribute enormously in supporting our new growth-driven objectives”.
