Gulf Crewing Company aims for expansion
Published: MEA
UAE: Dubai-based Gulf Crewing Company (GCC), which was launched in November 2008 by Jo Marshall, Nigel Beaton and Shane Manning, is celebrating its first 18 months by looking for more personnel and adding a new division.
The crew is being increased for the forthcoming events season with Mr Beaton planning a recruitment trip to the Philippines. A new Rigging Division is also being set up to be run by Mr Manning. ‘Realistically there are only a handful of experienced, trained riggers here full time, and when the season gets busy, there is a severe shortage of good quality rigging crew.’
As part of the training, GCC riggers will be attending a five-day rigging course hosted by trussing manufacturer Prolyte, in co-operation with Neumann & Mueller Dubai.
