NES can now explain the options available to non-UK applicants following the changes that were made to the UK Highly Skilled Migrant Programme criteria in December 2006.
"The kidnap of another Briton by gunmen in Nigeria at the weekend highlights the risk that oil and gas engineers are exposed to on a daily basis when working in countries such as Iraq, Nigeria and Angola", says Nick Stocker, Risk Manager at NES.
"The enhancement of sub-contractor security is the primary purpose of this initiative, which is why NES supplements its cost", Nick continues.
"We hope that it will become second-nature for our contractors to rely on the 24-hour NES Security Support service.
"Of course, it isn't just about the engineers themselves in these situations.
Their families appreciate having access to information in the event of a kidnap, country evacuation or similar incident and having the reassurance that they know who to call can help to reduce levels of anxiety faced by everyone involved", Nick concludes.
