MEMBER NEWS: STC INSISO announces further Senior Leadership changes as the company prepares for rapid business growth

Aberdeen-headquartered problem-solving company, STC INSISO has announced a further change to its executive leadership team as it prepares for accelerated business growth in 2023. Steve Holmes has transitioned to the role of Chief Operating Officer following his two-year tenure as Chief Performance Officer.

The change was triggered as former Chief Operating Officer, Alan Smith, moved into the newly created role of Head of Investigations at the end of 2022, resulting in a rebalancing of responsibilities across the executive leadership team.

Mark Rushton, CEO at STC INSISO said, “Moving into 2023, we are excited about what lies ahead for STC INSISO. Steve’s wealth of experience made him the obvious choice for the role of Chief Operating Officer, which will see him undertaking more responsibilities in the day-to-day running of the business and taking accountability for our People and Investigation workstreams.”

Prior to STC INSISO, Steve’s spent 13 years in senior health and safety roles within the oil and gas, rail, utilities, and waste management sectors. In his new position, he will be heavily involved in developing the company’s new product and service lines as well as upscaling current offerings.

Steve said, “There is a wealth of opportunities available for STC INSISO to expand our products and services, and my main focus will be on growing COMET – our flagship root cause analysis tool, as well as our learning and development offerings. I look forward to embarking on a more strategic role, allowing me to play a large part in helping the business meet its aspirations.”

COMET is widely utilised and trusted across numerous industries including oil and gas, construction, marine and utilities. Its unique methodology generates high quality input data to identify systemic causes and gives users a solid foundation for making sound decisions to ensure future incident prevention.

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

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.
