INDUSTRIAL services company Hertel is continuing its global expansion with the establishment of three sites in the Middle East.

The company, which has a UK base in Middlesbrough, has set up operations in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar, and has plans to expand further in the region.

Hertel has formed a partnership with Al Masaood Bergum Construction, which came about through Hertel's recent acquisition of Dutch marine outfitters CKT.
