Mr Mackenzie steps up to the role from his previous position as ROMAR chief operating officer.
He said: “With our 20th Anniversary just around the corner, ROMAR enjoys a strong position in the market, and I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue this growth.
“Rob has been involved with ROMAR for over six years, leading the company through some of the toughest times that we have seen in the oil and gas industry.
“During his tenure, the company has grown to be one of the world’s largest providers of Swarf Handling services in the Oil and Gas sector and I would like to thank him for his tireless efforts and endeavour to deliver positive change which will further embed and enable the values he has instilled in both the company and me during this transition phase.”
Mr Stables informed the board last year of his intention to retire as CEO by mid 2020.
Speaking of his decision Mr Stables, who remains a shareholder, said: “I have enjoyed a highly rewarding career working with major operators and ground-breaking projects and our 20th Anniversary is a fitting milestone to make my departure.
“I am particularly proud of ROMAR, its people and its products, and its continued growth and development during tough times is a testament to these factors. I have no doubt Malcolm will successfully continue to build on this.”
