What prompted your arrival in Serbia? What are your goals? I was more than pleasantly surprised at the beginning of 2017 when I received an offer to support the establishment and further development of our organisation in Serbia.The direct reason for that, and the first prestigious project on which our staff were engaged, was the implementation of construction works on the Delayed Coker Unit (DCU) plant, for
deep oil refining, at the Pančevo refinery that’s owned by our client NIS. We want to create an essential stable structure between technology, clients and contractors, establishing the uniformity of works and total transparency of all activities and cases. We want to provide our workers with the maximum space for further development, for them to gain serious experience that can subsequently be passed on to future generations for decades. As a company, we have the clear intention and goal of developing our business in Serbia over the long run. In accordance with that, we held very constructive meetings with representatives of the Ministry of Energy and Mining, after which we also expressed our clear intention to establish strategic and long-term cooperation. As for me personally, after many years spent working abroad with renowned world companies, side-by-side with top experts, I realised that I should share the wealth of knowledge I’ve gained in Serbia. Your portfolio is exceptional… What are all the sectors of industry and services that you cover? What is your core business? Burdock was founded 27 years ago in the Netherlands and provides services in the domain of complete project management, engineering, preparations and the supervision of major overhauls and projects worldwide.
