"We've always recognized the tremendous need and potential for our analytics-based Intelligent MRO solutions in Europe, and our growing partnership with ASCO has only reinforced this, particularly among oil and gas companies in the North Sea," stated Andy Hill, CEO and cofounder, Oniqua. "Expanding our office in London by filling key positions with smart, seasoned professionals will enable Oniqua to effectively deliver the same kind of world-class sales, support and service capabilities in the region as the rest of our customers around the world currently enjoy."
Key additions to the Oniqua Europe team include:
- Tim Moxey, Business Development Manager – Mr. Moxey has over 20 years' experience working with asset-intensive companies, including Saudi Aramco, Arcelor Mittal, TATA Steel, Repsol, TAQA, TOTAL, BP, Shell and Statoil. Previously, Moxey worked for Elsevier Science & Technology and IHS Intermat Solutions, where he was involved in solution sales focused on MRO inventory optimization services and software; data cleansing; and knowledge management systems. He is a published author and has presented at several high-profile conferences.
- Steve Pak, Customer Success Manager – Mr. Pak has more than 20 years of supply chain, plant maintenance and operations management experience with Fortune 500 companies. His knowledge and experience are focused on business process optimization and re-engineering; and leveraging analysis, insights and best practices to help clients improve efficiencies and increase profitability. Pak has led successful client engagements in a variety of asset-intensive industries, including oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, utilities, mining and transportation.
- Jo Wheeler, Inventory Analyst – Prior to Oniqua, Ms. Wheeler's most recent role was Materials Analyst with TOTAL, one of the world's largest integrated oil and gas companies. In this role, Wheeler oversaw stock management and analysis for the North Alwyn platform; created and maintained material data in SAP; created, reviewed and released stock requisitions; and organized equipment repairs.
The expanded team in the UK will enable Oniqua to provide greater coverage and enhanced support to its growing client base in the region, which includes ConocoPhillips, Britannia Operator Limited, Apache, Nexen and others. Co-locating with ASCO – a leading oilfield support services business, which acquired Oniqua in 2012 – will allow Oniqua to further develop and strengthen market synergies and complementary offerings with its parent company.
"The Oniqua brand has allowed ASCO to enhance even further the range of services we offer to both existing and new clients," said Derek Smith, Group Chief Executive of ASCO. "Oniqua's offering sits well across a wide number of asset heavy industries – mining, utilities, transport, and of course within our own specialist area – oil and gas. It's also a global brand which is helping to expand ASCO's own global footprint. Inventory and Materials Management is of fundamental importance to all of our clients, and these appointments will greatly enhance Oniqua's ability to support both of our customer bases in this critical area."
The Oniqua/ASCO office is located at 28 Eccleston Square, London, SW1V 1NZ, United Kingdom.
