GDG welcomes new APAC Director, Scott Anderson

Specialist engineering consultants, Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG), has announced the appointment of Scott Anderson as Asia-Pacific (APAC) Director.

In recent years, Scott has been involved in business acquisition, restructuring and turnaround activities where he played a key role in the management and coordination of the operational aspects of his target businesses.  

“I’m delighted to take up this exciting opportunity at a time of unprecedented growth in both GDG and the offshore wind industry.

His experience in redefining strategic operations to achieve sustainable growth will help us to realise our ambitious vision. The APAC region is at the beginning of its offshore wind journey and Scott, along with the wider GDG team, are best positioned to support clients, particularly in the emerging area of floating offshore wind, which is anticipated to play a significant role in the region towards the end of the decade. I look forward to seeing Scott progress in his new role as he supports his team to thrive.”
