Hello 2021!

We started this year with the feeling that 2021 is one of the most exciting times for the Lubricants and Fuels Industry in recent years. Talks with our global network of Lubricant, Additive and Base oil contacts have seen some key themes emerge for this year. Sustainability, Digitalization, Mobility, Energy Transition, Recovery and of course Talent Attraction.  

ABN are committed to aligning our offer to these key trends so keep watching our website and LinkedIn feed for more content, exclusive job opportunities and strategies to support the key trends in the downstream oil market. 

Success stories

A core value of ABN is Service. It is normal for companies to post reports of success on projects. Success for us is placements. A 97% vacancy fill rate since 2012 should give readers confidence we can support you effectively!  

However, we think it is more interesting to show what service you deliver to candidates even if you aren’t the person that placed them somewhere. Treating everyone the same and giving a positive user experience regardless of the ultimate outcome we think is really important.  Which is why we wanted to share this example:

Karl (Business Development Manager at ABN Resource) is one of the best recruitment consultants I have dealt with. Incredibly talented and he distinguishes himself from others in similar positions by being genuinely professional and caring. He has a detailed understanding of the market and is able to provide his clients with advice and support.
