Mr Davis has worked with government agencies and non-governmental organisations in developing disaster mitigation measures for major events.
He said: “It is a great opportunity for me to be responsible for one of Altor’s regions, which will also undoubtedly bring its own challenges. It is a region where we have experienced strong growth and have found a real need for the expert services we provide.”

The company provides a complete risk management service and has secured work from organisations around the world including major and midcap international oil companies and national oil companies, with operations extending over 18 countries.
Mr Walker, chief executive officer of Altor, said: “We have built the business on the ability to provide our clients with access to local expertise able to prevent, prepare for and deal with emergency situations. Our growth means we can provide our services to customers all over the world, even those operating in the most remote areas.
“The increased demand for our services has given us the opportunity to boost our senior staff. This underlines the success we have achieved to date and prepares the way for our continued growth.”
