Pat Fallon, the chief operation officer of Byrne Equipment Rental is stepping down on June 10 after 26 years with the UAE-based rental company.
Fallon, who became COO of Byrne in 2008, joined the company in a business development role, rising to general management positions before heading its operations. According to Byrne, he has expanded the company’s offering and managed its geographical expansion first into Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and most recently into Oman and Kuwait, giving it a presence throughout the GCC.
“I will reflect on my time at Byrne with tremendous pride on what we achieved, along with my sincere thanks and respect to its team of people across the region who I was privileged to work with on the journey to deliver its enviable growth and success. I hope to see that journey continue in the same vein and I wish everyone at the Byrne Group the very best going forward,” said Falon.
Hamad Al Sulaiman, chairman and CEO of the group, said: “Pat, as a friend and a pillar of Byrne, will be missed by all of us, and his previous responsibilities will be spread to other members of senior management in a way that will reflect amicable continuity of the excellent job he was doing.”
