The second addition is Brian Swankie, who will serve as the the principal Field Service Engineer in Scotland. He brings with him a City & Guilds NVQ level 2 & 3 in Engineering Construction qualification, as well as more than a decade of experience servicing and maintaining water treatment solutions.

Welcoming the new hires, Rich Matthews, Managing Director of the Siltbuster Group, said: "We are thrilled to have Drake and Brian on board. Not only are they both excellent additions to the team, but they further strengthen our presence in Scotland which is part of our ambitious growth strategy for the business. In the past we have had to support Scottish projects from South Wales, so it is great to see us improving our responsiveness and expanding in such an important area of the country for us. Drake and Brian are just the start of our Scottish plans, with more to come over the next 12 months."
