About Us

Abarrane was formed by Peter Smith in February 1985 in the city of Leeds, Yorkshire.

Initially set up as a hub of recruitment for local engineers and white collar professionals, the business grew exponentially to cover sectors diverse from Pharmaceutical to Oil and Gas Industry. Our regular dealings with Directors in Central London and VP and CEO’s in Europe and the USA led to us being presented with procurement opportunities. During 1992; through our relationships; we were able to secure our first contract in the Middle East with Saudi Aramco and became an international provider of specialist Oil and Gas equipment together with managing high calibre projects lead by UK and western English speaking professionals. In 1993, we expanded our services to every one of our clients to include procurement, management consultancy, compliance documentation with training together with trade of commodities and products in alliance with our core recruitment service. We have since been serving the International and local community consistently and equally in all the diverse areas of our expertise.

Our Offices in London and Yorkshire were acquired by Richard Higgins and merged thus modernising the company in line with the internet age. With offices now in the Middle East and Asia, our young teams continue to trade commodities, products, machinery and deliver management consultancy, business solutions, compliance and recruitment solutions globally in the sectors of gas and oil, energy, mining, banking, pharmaceuticals, information technology, renewable energy, medical, finance, high level executives, regulatory, compliance, procurement and the commodities industry.
