The October Lubricant News Roundup

The beginning of Autumn saw ABN a new offer of free access to work out the true cost of a bad hire. In our latest podcast, we hosted an inspiring conversation with sustainability expert, Apu Gosalia. We also continued our global sponsorship of the ICIS ‘Rising Star’ award at the Middle East & Africa event and attended other virtual industry events to keep up-to-date with the latest trends in the lubricants industry. And of course, some more key hires made for our customers as we concluded search projects.

Accomplished Search Projects

In October, we were delighted to complete a CEO search for UKIFDA (The UK and Ireland Fuel Distributors Association) and filled a Global Product Manager position for Motul.
