KWSA secures Support Services Contract in Saudi Arabia. Monday, May 7, 2007
 
King Wilkinson Saudi Arabia Ltd has been awarded a Support Services contract by Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia. King Wilkinson was one of ten contractors to avail a temporary need for manpower to supplement temporary increases in workloads. The work is involved with the provision of various grades of personnel to support Saudi Aramco’s massive developments planned over the next 5 years in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
 
MENA regional Management team headed by Regional Director, Craig Muir, stated, ”AMEC and King Wilkinson have been operating in Saudi Arabia for a significant number of years. Winning this contract is thanks in no small part to our approach to providing a significant and growing number of Saudi Nationals to both manage and deliver the local services required under this type of contract. This work  will provide a foundation for AMEC to use to grow other selected opportunities in the Kingdom.”
 
Saudi Country Manager Adil Al Asfoor added:  “Saudi Aramco is clearly an important client for us in King Wilkinson. We have worked for them continuously for over 30 years. This project provides a further 5 years of work for us and we expect, as a minimum, to grow the number of personnel employed to at least 250, in the first 12 months of the contract. This project secures a base on which to grow AMEC’s other skills, including Engineering and PMC services. And in turn demonstrate to our regional clients that we are able to support additional planned future growth.”
