AGR Group announced today that Mr Tom Hasler has been appointed Executive Vice President Drilling Services, based in Bergen, Norway.

Mr Hasler has worked for AGR Group since early 2006, and has most recently been responsible for successfully building the Drilling Services business in the Asia Pacific region. Prior to joining AGR Group he worked with PSL Energy services, including as Subsea Manager based in Aberdeen.
 
CEO of AGR Group, Mr Sverre Skogen commented, “Tom is a natural fit to take Drilling Services forward. Tom has proven his abilities within AGR Group by building a successful business for us in Aberdeen and followed that up with a highly successful year in Australia where he has driven the expansion of AGR’s subsea excavation business and our RMR technology in the region. Tom has a history of managing teams and building business in combination with bringing subsea technologies to market. His combination of managerial skills and business development acumen positions him well for his new role and I congratulate him on his appointment”.
 
“I would like to thank current EVP of Drilling Services, Arne Aune, for his assistance in putting in place structures to increase the robustness of the Drilling Services business. In his previous role with us as EVP Mergers & Acquisitions and Deputy CEO Arne was of invaluable assistance to AGR in building our business. Arne will work with Tom to ensure a smooth transition and will leave us late August this year to pursue opportunities outside the Group”, said Skogen.
