Having moved from an EPC role, Eddie Talbot, now managing director North America at Roll Group, began his project logistics career working “at the very limits” of people and equipment.
In this episode of Project Cargo Professionals, Eddie shares how Roll Group’s unique land and sea asset-based model is seeing unprecedented demand, with their vessels booked solid for the next two years, and how expansion in the U.S. is central to their growth story.
Eddie also looks back on his colourful years in the Middle East, where mega-projects tested his ingenuity, resilience, and grit.
You’ll hear:
- The hard lessons (and proudest wins) from working “at the limits” during a time of rapid growth in the Gulf.
- Why Roll Group is doubling down on new vessels, barges, and cranes.
- How the U.S. market – from LNG in Louisiana to mega projects on the Gulf Coast – is driving their expansion.
- Eddie’s candid reflections on mistakes, recoveries and the people who made the difference.
👉 A rare, candid look at the human and technical demands of project logistics – and the vision driving Roll Group forward in North America.
