Scott Paton commented: 
“As the leading provider of engineering solutions across the oil and gas asset lifecycle, AGR is uniquely positioned to find efficiencies that contribute to safe well project delivery while at the same time resulting in viable commercial operations. That’s why I’m so excited to be joining AGR at exactly the right time in their development as we look to further utilise our three decades of well management and subsurface expertise not only on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) but across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.”

His previous roles (among others) include executive and senior management positions at Sodexo, Lloyds Register, DOF (UK) Ltd, Seatronics Ltd and Intermoor Ltd, the last two being businesses of Acteon Group.

Scott is also a Qualified Member and Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
