MedservRegis on Wednesday announced the appointment of George Douglas as its Chief Health, Safety, Security, Environmental & Quality Corporate Officer (Chief HSSEQ Officer).

Mr Douglas previously occupied the position of Regional HSSEQ Manager & Port Facility Security Officer for Malta, Libya and Egypt within the Group. He first joined Medserv as an HSSEQ advisor in 2016 and worked up the ranks over his five years with the company.

Medserv plc was founded in 1974 with its head offices in Malta, and over the years became a trusted partner and provider of integrated oilfield support and services to IOCs and NOCs operating in and around the Mediterranean.

Earlier this year, it announced a “strategic transaction” with Regis Group, bringing the two entities together through a share for share exchange.

Regis provides logistics, equipment, procurement and specialised services to a wide range of customers, including national and international oil companies, oilfield services, drilling and mining companies as well as product and equipment manufacturers and other heavy industry-related contractors in South Africa, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, and Angola, a critical growth region for Medserv.

The global reach of the new Group, MedservRegis, spans across four continents, is present in twelve countries and operates from ten bases.
