Terence - from MCFT Intern to COO at Orca Service Technologies

I joined MCFT in 2016 as an intern while in my third year studying International Facilities Management at the Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. The business was in a completely different state at the time. The gulf businesses had just started and MCFT hadn't expanded to Europe or the far east yet. It was an exciting time to join the team: I learned a lot about Sales, Operations and Finance in a practical way. I was also responsible for completing research into expansion to the Netherlands. When I graduated, I joined the graduate programme, which eventually led me to a permanent position as Business Improvement Manager within the IT team. After a few years, we split the IT team into a standalone organisation, with the aim to sell our products beyond the boundaries of MCFT. This is how I ended up at ORCA Service Technologies. What a fantastic journey it has been, and we are just starting!

Why did you decide to continue your career journey with MCFT after your internship?

I enjoyed the responsibilities I got from day 1 at MCFT. It is hard work, but work hard - play hard. I have had opportunities to meet wonderful people and travel to our offices in the Middle East. We do not accept mediocre results and there is never a dull moment here.
