MEMBER NEWS: STC INSISO announces Senior Leadership changes amid continued business growth

Aberdeen-headquartered problem-solving company, STC INSISO has announced changes to its executive leadership team as it prepares for further business growth. Martin Dunn has moved from his existing role as COMET Delivery Manager to become Head of Operations, while Alan Smith has transitioned from Chief Operating Officer into a newly created role as Head of Investigations.

Prior to joining STC INSISO, both Alan and Martin served in the Police for 30 years having followed similar career paths with senior investigation roles, including Detective Superintendent. This extensive experience uniquely positioned them to adopt key roles within the investigation arm of STC INSISO’s business.

Mark Rushton, CEO at STC INSISO said, “These significant organisational changes come at an extremely exciting time for STC INSISO, as we enter the next phase of our business growth.  Having the right people in Alan and Martin, with their unique blend of investigative experience, in the right positions to support this growth of the COMET product suite and services is crucial.

Martin’s new role as Head of Operations will see him lead the implementation, ongoing support, and continuous improvement of STC INSISO’s flagship and trusted investigation and root cause analysis suite of products and services, COMET.

Martin said, “I am delighted to assume responsibility and oversee the management of COMET’s operational activity in terms of client interface and delivery. My aim is to ensure the highest standard of customer care through the deployment of experienced, knowledgeable staff and partner resources.”

Alan’s new role will see him lead the company’s Investigation support workstream and through the introduction of an innovative concept `COMET Reach` ensure the expansion of the COMET suite of products. COMET Reach will become the intellectual development arm of the COMET family and will exist to research and test the tools and processes that will further COMET’s capabilities in new and existing industries globally.

Alan added, “At 10 years old, COMET remains a relatively young Root Cause Analysis system, however it is fast becoming the most relevant and sought-after incident prevention solution. At the heart of the COMET philosophy is the desire to help organisations pivot towards a more proactive approach to Root Cause Analysis through the identification and mitigation of dormant issues before they become active and cause harm.

This proactive use of COMET transforms Root Cause Analysis into Root Cause Learning and makes the product so much more valuable in terms of incident prevention and organisational improvement

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.
