The current climate
As a british ran business our roots in the O&G recruitment market were establish in the North Sea market in 2009. We worked with multipe Service, EPC and Engineered equipment companies during this time as growth came back to a depressed market.
As a UK business the majority of our recruitment across Europe has naturally been in the UK. But working with multiple larger O&G clients allowed us to then focus on continental Europe also. Norway being a particular focus and with several major clients based in Paris and Milan. Inspection companies in the Netherlands and several business in Russia & CIS.
We have worked for more time in Europe than any of our other markets and looking forward to support some of our oldest clients for years to come.
Another tough year of the European O&G market, with the North Sea being one of the toughest markets hit globally. We will have to look until 2017 to see any sustained growth back in the sector but indications suggest there will be a positive growth following the downturn and an established History as the regional HQ for Europe oil business. The current trend is impacting across the subsea equipment market and into the EPC arena which is unlikely to see growth until Q3 17.
Mainland Europe will continue to stablise and should see some excellent opportunities for growth in the German engineering market and chemical industries which continue to perform well and will be a focus for GPS through the rest of 2016.
