Mr McKenna said: “SKN is an exciting, ambitious company that has grown quickly and extensively, both within the UK and overseas. I’m looking forward to being a part of its success and driving its engineering division forward to deliver a quality service to its portfolio of clients and their projects.”

SKN has also made two additional appointments to strengthen its technical support team in Aberdeen. Kamran Quraishi, 27, will take on the role of Technical Assistant whilst Leanne Rennie, 25, has been appointed as Logistics Co-ordinator.
