It will boost our global reach in line with the increasingly international nature of the oil services industry, and enable us to leverage the breadth and depth of expertise within the group to support other fast-growing entrepreneurial businesses in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob Bain, Managing Partner at Hall Morrice Chartered Accountants, added: \u201cWe look forward to working closely with Tom and Melanie in the future.
