Crestchic (Middle East) FZE, part of the international leader in load testing solutions, Crestchic, has announced the crucial appointment of Damien Raspe as its new Technical Sales and Applications Manager, expanding its premium service in the Middle East.
Bringing more than 18 years’ experience in the electrical and power generation sectors, Damien makes the move from Crestchic’s UK office in Burton on Trent, where he worked as a Test and Commissioning Engineer. He now has a clear vision to drive the business forward at his new base in Dubai, UAE.
Damien worked with Crestchic loadbanks during his service in the Royal Air Force, where he became a specialist in site set-up and automation of pump installations. Responsible for rental of HV Transformers, Damien will draw on his expertise in the sector when delivering technical and commercial tendering for Crestchic (Middle East) FZE.
With the company constantly evolving, Damien will target new business and develop existing relationships to ensure that their requirements are met. He said: “I am looking forward to starting the next part of my Crestchic journey.
“I really enjoy working for the organisation so when I was offered the opportunity to develop the business overseas I was delighted to accept. I believe that my experience, coupled with Crestchic’s vision for the Middle East, will result in a resounding success. It’s definitely going to be a rewarding challenge and I am eager to get started.”
Formerly Northbridge Middle East, Crestchic (Middle East) FZE was formed as part of a global rebrand to strengthen local service and support to its Middle Eastern market.
