Marc Gerrard has more than 25 years’ experience in the energy sector and was previously in senior management positions at HTL Group and EnerMech, while John Morgan’s 30-year career in engineering and management roles included the position of Managing Director of Equalizer International, and following its acquisition a management role with Enerpac Tool Group in Aberdeen.

RenQuip will specialise in the design and manufacture of installation and maintenance tools for the energy industry, offering bespoke products, product sales and equipment rental.  

In addition to distributing and selling its own branded OEM equipment globally, RenQuip has established agreements to act as a distributor for well-established equipment and tool brands.

RenQuip Managing Director, Marc Gerrard, said: “As a result of recent corporate acquisitions and restructuring in the sector, we have identified that there is a gap in the market for a reliable and experienced partner to service companies and operators in the energy space. A lot of experience has left the industry which has resulted in a knowledge deficit, and we believe RenQuip can address this shortfall, and through new technologies deliver an unbeatable customer experience.  

“While our extensive experience is in the traditional oil and gas sector, it will be a natural step for RenQuip to focus on delivering specialist tools and engineered solutions to the renewables industry.”

RenQuip Technical Director, John Morgan, added: “Clients have told us there is a need for a business which can provide bespoke solutions where existing equipment can be modified or adapted, or new products can be developed for a specific application. With our strong background in engineering design and manufacturing, RenQuip will be in the perfect position to fill that requirement, and at the same time we will roll out our OEM products and those of internationally established manufacturers, to a global client list.”
