As a mark of IXSEA’s global growth, Nick Goodwin has recently left his position as sales director of IXSEA to set up the Australian division of IXSEA. This allows the company to provide closer support to its clients in Australia and New Zealand.
The Australasian market has shown consistent year on year growth in multiple sectors over the last five to six years. Oil and gas has seen large scale investment, and high oil and gas prices have ensured the current trend for the next five or so years. As IXSEA has a traditional market place serving and supporting the construction survey sector in Australia, it makes sense to set up the division.
“The increase in wealth around the Pacific Rim has led to an increase in the size of military forces projected by governments around the region. With new definitions of exclusive economic zones giving Australia massive tracts of subsea territory to police and protect, the Australian government has committed itself to new surface and submarine programs, all of which are potential markets for IXSEA products,” said Nick Goodwin, regional sales manager, Australasia.
He continued: “With a growing client base in the oceanographic and hydrographic survey sectors, as well as a large potential market in the mining sector, it is best to have an office in the region. We now have an office in Brisbane and plan to open another in Perth shortly.”
