Energy recruitment specialist Spencer Ogden has made two major new appointments.
Brad Lewington has been promoted to director of EMEA, combining the role with his existing position as head of Asia Pacific. In his new role, he will report directly to CEO, David Spencer Percival, relocating to London having moved to Singapore to open and develop the company’s APAC business in 2012.
Prior to joining Spencer Ogden, Lewington spent ten years working in energy recruitment, starting his career at one of the UK’s largest technical recruitment companies as a contract recruiter. His work within the industry has seen him conduct business and strategic account development for major oil companies and large engineering contractors globally.
Kristen Zeilerbauer has also been appointed to the role of managing director in London, helping to drive the performance of the business in the UK.
Zeilerbauer started his career as a graduate with Progressive (part of the SThree Group), where he spent five years, becoming a sales manager. This latest move sees him reunite with Spencer Ogden’s CEO David Spencer-Percival, with whom he had previously worked at Huntress.
Since its foundation in 2010, Spencer Ogden has grown from a headcount of just 25 to more than 400 employees globally and over 700 contractors working on energy projects. The firm focuses on all energy industries, from oil and gas to power, nuclear and renewables.
David Spencer-Percival said: “We are incredibly excited about these new appointments. Brad has shown fantastic leadership to establish our APAC business and I’m sure he will have a similar impact on our expanding operations in EMEA. Being in London will enable him to work closely with our senior management team to capitalise on these crucial growth areas for the business.
“I am thrilled to have someone of Kristen’s calibre and experience heading up the London team. Having worked closely with him in that past, I know that together we can drive the UK section of the business forward. We rely on strong leadership to sustain the growth and expertise within the business and both of these individuals are great examples of that.”
