Institute of Directors regional award ANDREW Robinson, a director of Arc Energy Resources, has won the director development category in the 2014 Institute of Directors (IoD) South West regional awards. Mr Robinson was the highest scorer in the SW IoD Certificate in Company Direction, which encompasses the core knowledge and awareness necessary to function effectively as a director. Commenting on winning the award, Mr Robinson said, “This is a great boost, as the business celebrates its 20 th anniversary this year. I have worked here for six years and have been a director for just under a year. The first thing I did was enrol on the IoD director courses so I would know what I was doing. I was really pleased to pass, especially when the IoD told me I was one of the top scoring directors.”

Arc Energy Resources was founded in 1994 by Andrew’s father, managing director Alan Robinson, and his mother Rosemary is also a director. Since joining the business Andrew has worked in a variety of roles, including procurement and scheduling, aiming to learn as much as he can about the firm. The company is a specialist in weld overlay cladding services, providing protection against corrosion and wear for equipment in the oil and gas, nuclear and processing industries. It is currently on target for a record year and has just signed a lease for larger premises. The expansion will include a dedicated research and development facility as well as plans to expand its involvement in the UK’s resurgent nuclear power industry.
