Member News: Specialist Equipment Solutions Appoints New Business Development Manager to Drive Strategic Growth

Leading provider of high-quality plant equipment, SES, has appointed Daniel Flaxington as Business Development Manager. Daniel will play a key role in leading and executing the strategic business initiatives for the specialist equipment provider.

In his new role, Daniel will be responsible for ensuring that the SES business strategy aligns with parent company, Worley’s overarching strategy. His focus will be on supporting the senior management team in driving revenue growth, enhancing market share and identifying new markets that the company can grow within.

Daniel brings with him a wealth of experience spanning over two decades, beginning with a strong technical foundation in engineering before transitioning into leadership roles across strategy, operations, finance, and HR. Most recently, Daniel served as Country Operations Manager for a global rental company in the Middle East, where he managed all service and operations in Saudi Arabia, overseeing a team of more than 140 employees across three sites.

Beth Towsey, Managing Director of SES, commented on Daniel’s appointment, “We are delighted to have Daniel join our leadership team as Business Development Manager. His mix of technical and commercial experience paired with his strategic vision is exactly what we need to achieve our ambitious growth plans.”

As part of his role, Daniel will work with the wider SES team to optimise service delivery, enhance customer experience and support the overall success of the business.

Commenting on his appointment, Daniel Flaxington said, “SES has a strong reputation for excellence, reliability, and innovation. They play an important role in the industry by providing high-performance equipment and expert support that helps ensure safe and efficient operations. But what stands out the most is team-oriented culture at SES, where skilled professionals collaborate and focus on delivering personalised support to clients.

“The potential at SES really excites me. I look forward to working with the team to strengthen our presence both in Aberdeen and within new markets and industries.”

SES remains committed to investing in new strategies and technologies, working with customers to provide safe and cost-effective solutions. Daniel’s appointment marks another step in the company’s growth plans.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
