Margaret Abercrombie
I have worked with Barry in his various roles during his 9 year career at INEOS, I’ve found him to be a dedicated hard working individual who has excellent technical skills and management experience. He is an easy person to work with and is always keen to get involved with developments that would improve the business. I have no hesitation in recommending Barry to any company considering him for one of their positions.
