Graeme Chalmers was formally welcomed into the network by the Scottish Government’s Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation, Ivan McKee MSP, at a networking event in Abu Dhabi.
The evening reception was organised by Scottish Development International as the United Arab Emirates city welcomed thousands of visitors to ADIPEC, an annual oil and gas industry conference and exhibition.
GlobalScot is a diverse worldwide network of business leaders, entrepreneurs and executives with a connection to Scotland.
The group comprises of around 650 members based in over 50 countries around the globe.
It aims to support Scottish businesses that are looking to grow internationally, with GlobalScots providing advice, insight and market intelligence to aid growth and entry into new countries and regions.
Headquartered in Oldmeldrum, Flowline Specialists operates internationally, providing equipment and personnel to manage flexible pipe, cable and umbilical handling and deployment projects in the oil and gas, subsea and renewable energy industries.
The firm has undertaken work for clients across Europe, in North America, Australia, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
In 2015, it established a subsidiary, Flowline Specialists DMCC, in Dubai, which is led by Mr Chalmers, who also spearheads the company’s international sales activity.
The announcement of Mr Chalmers’ admittance into the GlobalScot network coincides with Flowline Specialists exhibiting at ADIPEC.
The leading oil and gas conference and exhibition is a key event in the Middle East for the company, where it continues to experience growing demand for its range of cable handling and deployment equipment and services.

“The whole team at Flowline Specialists has contributed to the firm’s international expansion over the past
decade, and as we continue to enter new markets that combined experience will be invaluable.
“I look forward to meeting fellow GlobalScot members and learning from them and sharing our own company’s experiences as we all work together to support Scottish business globally.”
