Paradigm Drilling Services chair and CEO, Fraser Innes, said: “We have had an extremely strong start to 2013, securing new contracts in a number of regions across the globe, and the additional capital investment will allow the company to continue the development programme of innovative downhole tools as well as increasing manufacturing capacity.
“The business has come a long way since its inception in 2009, when we started with just three members of staff and, due to a number of contract awards, it is essential we continue to grow our workforce to meet the increasing demand for our products and services.”
