Glacier Energy, a specialist provider of products, services and engineered solutions for the renewable and conventional energy markets, has welcomed Paul Johnston to the team as the new Business Unit Director of its Inspection Services Division.
In his new role, Paul will lead the Inspection Services team, playing a pivotal role in executing the division’s strategic plans.

Scott Martin, Group CEO, commented: “We are really looking forward to Paul joining the business, with our inspection division having many interesting opportunities in front of it. Following the buyout announced in January, the group is enjoying significant momentum and investing in its senior management is a key element to our future growth plans.”

In recent years, Glacier Energy’s Inspection Services Division has continued to support major wind foundation manufacturers with inspection services in the UK and Europe, introduced new services for operation, maintenance and life extension projects for in-service wind farms and established strong new partnerships with innovative technology partners to strengthen its wind services offerings.

With Paul’s appointment, Glacier Energy is well placed to further solidify its market position and achieve significant growth in both wind and the wider energy market.
