Lee Frankham, Managing Director, and Mark Balaam, Technical Director, will remain with Simpology to ensure a successful integration of the businesses. This period will focus on aligning services across cyber security and communications services, and ensuring there is a seamless customer experience, as well as expanding Flotek’s regional presence in London and surrounding areas.
