With more than 30 years experience in the offshore industry Tony Sneesby is excited to be providing solutions to some of the world’s biggest names in the sector. In his previous roles in the oil and gas industry he’s worked all over the world. A former Barrow Grammar School student he has worked his way up from starting at BAE Systems through 25 years at Oil States and more recently at SN Group. For the last 12 months, he’s been operations manager for engineering solutions company Forth, and in the last six months has set up and grown a new arm of the business in Barrow. The Barrow operation has quickly grown from a shared space in Phoenix Business Centre to its own unit in Peter Green Way, and now occupies a site complete with a humidity- and temperature-controlled workshop area at Flass Lane, in the former Remploy building.
