RELATIONSHIPS:
The Heston Group was formed more than 25 years ago, primarily to provide Human
Resource Solutions to the Hydrocarbon and Construction Industry throughout the Middle
East. Whilst this has remained the core focus of the group for which we are ISO 9001: 2000
accredited, the company has naturally evolved into a broad resource solutions provider
throughout the Middle East, United States of America, Africa, Asia and Europe.
Our services have remained primarily within the Hydrocarbon and Construction Industries,
but versatility and rapid deployment / life support techniques and capabilities have allowed us
to provide broad ranging solutions to the Military, Prime Contractors, the UN and NGOs in all
operational environments. A fundamental policy that has been a key aspect of our success is
that of a local presence and strategic Joint Venture Partners, via fully licensed, legally
compliant, and accountable offices.
We rigidly enforce solid business practice as the foundation of our operations. Integrity and
transparency have been essential components to our success and our reputation has been
built on our ethical standards, which stand us apart from other companies and results in full
accountability.
