Craig International appoints Middle East country manager to support business growth
5 February 2018
Craig International has welcomed Steve Gibson as country manager for the Middle East to support the company’s continued growth across the region.
Based at the company’s premises in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Steve brings more than 20 years experience and has held a number of senior supply chain positions for GE Oil and Gas, Technip and GAC Group.
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Gibson, said: “Craig International has an enviable reputation in the industry for safety, quality and adding value to its clients’ procurement processes, and I am thrilled to be joining the team.”
Steve’s appointment comes as the company recently announced relocation to larger facilities in the region to meet continued business demand and an increased headcount.
Craig International moved to new premises in October 2017, increasing office space from a serviced facility to a standalone facility with room for future growth. The headcount in the region has also doubled with the addition of seven new members of staff.
Steve McHardy, director at Craig International, said: “Steve joins our Middle East operations at a crucial time for the business as we look to grow our market share in the region, while entering new areas such as Saudi Arabia. His appointment will help to drive our business forward and enhance our operations in the Middle East.”
