Regent Consulting has a strong track record in these sectors where specific expertise is particularly hard to find.

Over the years we have built an extensive network of candidates and industry contacts, so we can respond rapidly with solutions to new recruitment challenges. We also understand the nuances and special requirements of roles within these sectors. In addition to probing technical, strategic and functional competencies and experience in our interviews, we always assess a candidate's potential and cultural fit as key parts of the process.

Our experience covers manufacturing, marketing, technical services, business development and professional consulting on a global basis. Our client base is just as diverse, including oil companies, specialised chemical companies, lubricants blenders, capital intensive chemical manufacturing and processing firms, and niche high technology development organisations. We also have a number of clients in the rapidly developing alternate energy sector.

Many blue chip oil and chemical companies depend on our expertise and networking abilities to find them high-calibre professionals to drive business development and expansion.

With cross-functional expertise, we're happy to work in any area, whether it's refining, manufacturing, technical or commercial. We also cover a wide range of traditional functions, including:

• Product and process development
• R&D and technical service
• Business development
• Logistics management and supply chain
• Engineering management
• Project management
• Marketing and sales
• Health, safety and environment
• Consulting
• Planning and strategy
• Channel management
• New product innovation

As the scale and scope of our work has evolved and expanded, we have developed specialist services in alternate energy, global business needs, lean manufacturing, process optimisation, strategic key account management, and legislative and regulatory impacts.

With in-depth knowledge of industry operations and products, we also source candidates for suppliers to these sectors as their requirements are often similar.

The Oil, Gas, Chemicals and Energy practice is led by Clive Asher who has had senior level international management experience in a number of oil and chemical companies. Clive graduated in industrial chemistry and has also studied further in business and marketing.
