An enterprising north-east man is hoping to help reinvigorate the oil and gas industry after creating a ground-breaking piece of software.
Colin Rawlinson, of Westhill, has spent the past nine months creating Stethyscope, a live streaming app which he hopes will allow redundant oil workers to connect with employers and like-minded individuals across the globe.
The 65-year-old worked in recruitment in the oil and gas sector for over 40 years and estimates he has helped about 10,000 people find roles within the industry.
