Great opportunity for some young talent in the North East of Scotland to come and see what ACE has to offer as an employer. Having joined as a graduate back in 2012, I can first handedly attest to the personal and professional growth ACE can provide.

Goodbye Scotland… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🛫

Spending the past 12 years living in Aberdeen is the longest I've ever lived anywhere by a long shot, so it was overdue time for a move. This time back to somewhere I know well from livi…https://t.co/ahGJmvMLCj

I've been quiet for a while on LinkedIn, but now you can see what I've been working hard on in the background. Exciting new chapter in my family's life but also an exciting expansion of the ACE business.

I'll be at OTC in Houston…https://t.co/xkXoR2gWyB https://t.co/s6yV6BOoQT

This is where working from home gets difficult. Productivity may increase with more focus time on tasks without distractions and Zoon/Teams meetings jumping straight into business, but it is all those side conversations which end up being missed.

ADIPEC 2021 is almost upon us. I will be attending the show with @CraigMacbeath next week. We are sponsoring the EIC (Energy Industries Council) UK National Pavilion (booth # 8420) but we will likely be on our feet most of the week meeting some new and ex…https://t.co/13sEp3vIwb

Sunday funday!

I may be an office boy but in my free time I love getting stuck into some DIY. Today we are replacing an old tar felt roof with a metal one on a friend's very old stable/shed. This should do him for the next 15+ years!

This makes for some very interesting reading. Quite a few surprises and those who make the most noise in the market are not always the biggest fish in the pond.

The biggest players are also not the ones leading the energy transition.

What a great weekend!

First wedding and large social gathering I've been to since the start of the pandemic, and it was a blast. Unfortunately our childcare ended up coming down with a case of covid, so we had a last minute wedding crasher join our party…https://t.co/GJnhaNH3Na

I don't normally read any newspapers, but I had some time to kill this morning and saw an article (Saturday essay) which caught my eye by @BjornLomborg.

Random thought for the day...

It is now coming up to 2 years since I joined a senior management role. One thing I have come to understand is business is all about people and relationships. Make life good for them and they will make life good for you. Thi…https://t.co/hZRrMaZseS
