Aberdeen based training specialist, Survivex, today, 28th April 2011, announces the appointment of Andrew Green as finance director.

He will liaise with external advisors to develop and maintain effective relationships with banking partners and other stakeholders.

“We have invested significantly in the development of Survivex, our purpose-built training centre has the highest quality training equipment and to ensure that we achieve our goal of becoming the market leader, it is essential that we have the right people on our management team. Andrew’s knowledge of engineering and the oil and gas sector, paired with his financial background makes him ideally placed to oversee the financial growth of the company.”

Survivex will offer offshore survival and manual skills training from its 53,000 feet new build training centre in Dyce in Aberdeen.
