M2 Subsea names European renewables and decommissioning head

ROV services provider M2 Subsea has appointed a new European business development manager for renewables and decommissioning.

M2 Subsea said on Tuesday that David Sinclair would be responsible for leading the company’s business acquisition strategy for both these sectors on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and in Europe.

The company added that Sinclair, who would be based in Aberdeen, joined M2 Subsea from Bibby Offshore where he held the position of engineering and innovation manager.

Sinclair brings with him more than ten years of industry experience. He started his career as a project engineer at Global Pipelay Operations Group before progressing to senior engineering roles at Subsea 7 and Technip Offshore Wind.

M2 Subsea CEO, Mike Arnold, said: “David is a huge asset to our growing business development team and we are thrilled to welcome him on board.

“His breadth of skills across the subsea sector and experience in the ROV market will prove invaluable to our company as we continue to develop our business in the renewable and decommissioning sectors.”

Sinclair is the third addition to M2 Subsea’s European business development team following the appointments of Hugh Riddell and Jack Taylor earlier this year.

Riddell joined M2 Subsea in June 2017 as the business development manager for the UKCS. He previously held the roles of client manager at Technip and sales account manager at Swire Oilfield Services.

Taylor, who holds a Bachelor of Engineering from Robert Gordon University, was most recently project engineer at Bibby Offshore and joined M2 Subsea in October 2017 as a client account manager.

David Sheret, interim business development director at M2 Subsea, added: “We have bolstered our business development team in response to increased activity in the UKCS and our team has never been in a stronger position with the appointment of Hugh, Jack, and David.”
