Her new role will be overseeing the further development of the UK-based oil and gas industry training entity which serves on and offshore markets, and which now exports its training and services worldwide.
“I have worked across a number of industries and what I see in the oil and gas sector is a clear recognition of the skills challenges it faces and a real desire to work collaboratively to address them,” Ms Boorman said as her appointment was announced. “Opiate’s strength lies in its connectivity to the industry, education and government and I look forward to the challenges this new and exciting role will bring.”Advertisement
