Our CEO John Gilley recently spoke with Oil & Gas Middle East about the priorities shaping both the energy industry and Kent at large, exploring how safety, operational excellence and strong leadership continue to underpin our approach. Alongside this, John defined our bold strategy around innovation and digitalisation and explored how it helps deliver value for clients across the full asset lifecycle.

John also highlighted several key trends influencing the sector, including increasing collaboration across project delivery, the growing role of AI and digital technologies, and rising demand for asset optimisation, late-life operations and decommissioning services.

Looking ahead, John shared his optimism for the remainder of the year, pointing to our growth across both CAPEX and OPEX markets and the expansion of Kent Data Centres into new regions.
