NES Global Talent expands in Middle East

NES Global Talent, the international  manpower specialist, is ramping-up its presence in the Middle East.

The private equity-backed company which has its headquarters in Altrincham is expected to win more work in Abu Dhabi after being granted
a trade licence there, while it is also expanding its team in Dubai too.

The Abu Dhabi trade licence will allow NES to partner more closely with the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world. This will allow it to provide contract as well as permanent personnel in the region.

At the same time, the company, which has a global network of 35 offices, five of which are in the Middle East, has moved its Dubai-based office into new larger premises and is due to launch in Oman in a few weeks.

Neil Mellin, Abu Dhabi-based operations manager at NES Global Talent, said: “The ability to work as a ‘manpower provider’ to the ADNOC group of companies, will open up a host of new opportunities. We look forward to working closely with the company, ensuring all of its businesses have access to the very best talent in the industry.”

Darren Grainger, regional director for the Middle East added: “Our business is expanding rapidly across the Middle East. In northern Iraq and Kurdistan we are seeing a great deal of growth in operation and drilling services.

““Our global network of offices has been opened strategically within oil and gas hubs, such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Qatar and Saudi Arabia to mirror the geographical footprint of our key clients, meaning we can deliver the challenging staffing projects that others cannot.”
