Innovative and flexible approach 

BEC’s CEO, Irteza Piracha, commented: “Winning The Queen’s Award represents another major milestone in our journey. We have built our success on offering an innovative and flexible approach to supporting our clients who are some of the world’s biggest oil & gas companies. Key to that is being physically close to them and we continue to open offices in strategic locations to support their needs.

“A very special thank you to each of the employees and their families for their belief in the owners and their ideals.”
