Interwell UK managing director resigns

Interwell UK has announced the departure of its managing director, Andrew Louden.

Andrew Louden joined Interwell in December 2010 to establish a UK subsidiary of Interwell AS. According to the company, over the last four years the UK business has gone from strength to strength with the team growing from an initial two employees up to its current headcount of 48.

Furthermore, the company says that during this period the team have established a strong safety and quality focus and have achieved ISO9001, 14001 and 18001 accreditation. In addition, since moving into their UK base at Links Place in Aberdeen, they have achieved four years without any lost time injuries.

The UK organization now enters a new chapter with expanded geographical responsibility for West Africa operations. Louden has decided to pursue a new challenge and has handed the reins of responsibility to David Aitken, who has worked alongside him since the UK’s inception in January 2011.

Aitken joined Interwell as the UK Operations Manager, following a long career with a major service company where he had overall responsibility for its North Sea slickline business. Aitken became the UK Country Manager at Interwell in 2014. In Aitken’s new role as UK Managing Director he will assume responsibility for all of Interwell’s core business activities in the UK and West Africa.

Interwell’s CEO, Eirik Bergsvik, said: “I’d like to thank Andrew for his significant contribution to the growth of the Interwell business in the demanding UK market. He has built, and leaves behind a strong, committed team.

“Dave’s acute focus on safe operations and service quality, his proven management skills, and his comprehensive understanding of running a well services business makes him the ideal person to lead the UK team during this exciting new phase of further expansion.”
