Paradigm Drilling Services has recruited Kevin Langan as Managing Director to lead and manage its global business.

Langan has previously worked for almost 18 years in various managerial roles at well-known drilling and oil-service companies such as Oilserv, Ulterra and ReedHycalog. He has lived and worked in Saudi Arabia, Norway, Libya, Ghana, Iraq and most recently returned from Dubai after nine and half years.

'I am excited to be joining Paradigm Drilling Services as the business leader. The company has some excellent products that are clearly gaining traction in the market, along with new emerging technologies that need globalising,' says Langan.

He adds: 'Having spent most of my working career in various cultures commercialising many new technologies, I’ve adopted a ‘work smarter, not harder ethos’.

Paradigm Group CEO Julian Manning is confident Langan’s experience will strengthen sales and awareness of their products and services.
