Our History
Previously known as Oil Consultants, with a specialism in oil and gas personnel recruitment, we’ve embraced the energy transition at this exciting time. Under our new name Visuna, we are now working across all energy and technology sectors.
For the past 20 years, we have been connecting the best people from our international talent pool to the best opportunities. Our passion for finding the right solutions for our clients remains at the core of what we do. Over the years, we have established relations in key geographical areas.
About Us
During 2022, we recognised a need to diversify both our client and market mix, which will secure our long term future and allow our business to expand. This diversification included a rebrand with a new name, new values, new internal systems, additional marketing activity and even the launch of a brand new website. We implemented an additional recruitment and business development team and expanded to new geographical locations to support this too. In this time, we opened an office in Texas and appointed a team there, who have grown our USA operations. We’ve also continued to grow business in our core locations, including Saudi Arabia and Australia.
In the last 12 months we’ve increased headcount and implemented a more streamlined operations structure to promote consistent and compliant operations. This included a hiring a Commercial Director to bring a stronger business development focus to the recruitment team. Alongside this, the introduction of new HR and Marketing roles ensure we have the right expertise for company growth plans. New roles were also created to aid development and promotion opportunities for existing team members. Plus, we supported a member of the team in their transition from working at the UK office to a new role at the Brisbane office.
After a continuous period of growth in 2022, we moved our UK head office to a more spacious location in Washington, Tyne and Wear to accommodate our team.
