Specialist welding engineering company Arc Energy Resources is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Robinson to the Board of Directors, five years after leaving the University of Nottingham with a Degree in Economics.

 

During his time with the company, Andrew has focused on rationalising the purchasing function of the company’s fabrication and weld overlay cladding divisions, and was heavily involved in the £500,000 investment to acquire two new Rotating Head welding machines that have proved so effective in extending the size and scope of corrosion resistant coating contracts the company can handle. He has also developed the company’s environmental management system, gaining successful certification to ISO 14001:2004. As a Director, he will be tasked with developing the company’s ongoing strategy, including heading its aspirations to enter the civil nuclear market. 

 

Andrew’s parents, Alan and Rosemary Robinson, are Managing Director and Finance Director of the Eastington-based engineering company, whose highly trained welding teams provide fabrication and weld overlay cladding services to the oil & gas and water treatment industries, as well as other sectors. 

 

Welcoming her son to the board, Rosemary Robinson says the experience Andrew has gained in the past five years, together with his knowledge of economics and industry in general, continues to add a unique perspective and fresh thinking to the business.

 

In his spare time, Andrew plays piano, trumpet and guitar, is a member of Minchinhampton rugby club and, like his father, is a keen supporter of Gloucester Rugby Club.
