Our People

Pamela McFadden joined Fathom Systems Ltd in March 2009 as Procurement Specialist.  This was a challenging new position within the company as up until then all requirements were engineering lead and driven.  Always up for a challenge, Pamela has successfully maintained the existing supplier base and introduced new vendors to Fathom Systems whilst maintaining the highest personal, professional and ethical standards.  The introduction of a new MRP system in October 2012 saw a new set of challenges, but Pamela’s ability and previous experience of an SAP transition whilst at Subsea 7 helped to ensure that the introduction of our Kingfisher system benefited the Purchasing Department.  Pamela is currently responsible for all Fathom Systems’ purchasing needs from RFQ through to PO commitment, expediting, working closely with the Engineering and Drafting teams, production and stores.

As part of our ISO accreditation, we now maintain a ‘Top 20’ vendors list and Pamela’s role as Procurement Manager includes arranging supplier visits to ensure good business relationships are maintained.  Previously, Pamela was employed by Subsea Offshore/Subsea 7 as an Expeditor and Project Co-ordinator then moved into the Purchasing Department.  Prior to that, Pamela worked in the specialist packaging industry as an Internal Sales Correspondent and then progressed to Scottish Sales Manager covering Scotland and the North of England.  Pamela feels that her previous sales experience is beneficial in her purchasing role as it allows her to see things from the supplier’s and customer’s point of view.  Pamela was educated at Mackie Academy, Stonehaven and is a member of MCIPS.

Stuart Falcus joined Fathom Systems in May 2008 as Products Manager and since then has played a key role in the successful and continued growth of the company to date.  In this time, Stuart has progressed to Business & Operations Manager and most recently to Business Development Manager.  The current position carries responsibility for the identification of new business opportunities on a global basis, client interface and contract negotiation, development of partner company relationships and sales initiative.

Stuart offers a wealth of knowledge and experience to Fathom Systems, gained directly from his 24 years’ industry experience.  Starting life as an Engineering Technical Clerk for Elf Enterprise Caledonia on the Piper Field Redevelopment Project in 1991, Stuart progressed through further North Sea topside construction and commissioning contracts working both onshore and offshore, before turning to the Subsea sector in the late 90s.  Primarily with a mechanical background, Stuart enjoyed several years working at partner company Tritech International prior to joining Fathom Systems.  Stuart was educated at the Kings School, Tynemouth, The Polytechnic of North London Business School and Aberdeen Technical College.
