Return to roots
FORMER Edinburgh Instruments chief executive Alan Faichney is returning to the oil and gas industry where he spent much of his early career.
He is joining the board of Adrok, based in the Scottish capital and the developer of a scanner used in mineral and oil and gas exploration, as a non-executive director.
Mr Faichney was previously managing director of Concept Systems, which supplied complex planning and data management tools to seismic contractors in the oil exploration industry.
He said the team at Adrok had delivered some great results for clients. "I want to help them build on this momentum and grow the business to become one of the industry leaders."
Gordon Stove, chief executive of Adrok, described the appointment as a major coup.
