3t has acquired GTSC from Al Mansoori Specialised Engineering, strengthening its presence across the region in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
GTSC is the largest energy training business in the Middle East and its acquisition sees over 100 GTSC employees and several purpose-built training facilities becoming part of 3t. The company boasts an extensive array of industry-accredited technical, offshore survival, HSE, firefighting and road safety training courses.
Kevin Franklin, CEO of 3t, says: ‘The Middle East is booming with projects across the whole energy spectrum; demand for world-class training and skilled workforce is high. Our offer of exceptional quality training and technology has proved compelling. The GTSC team has developed a strong business that is highly respected, with a track record that speaks for itself – we complement each other well, allowing us to invest and build a stronger service for our customers.’
Mario Nahas, CEO of GTSC, adds: ‘I am delighted that GTSC has found a partner to support us on the next phase of growth. I am immensely proud of how the business has developed under the ownership of Al Mansoori and the support and leadership provided by their CEO Nabil Al Alawi. We have gotten to know 3t well and I am excited by the next phase of development for GTSC.’
