MEMBER NEWS: Scotgrip International announces two new outlets at Port of Blyth and the Port of Dundee

Scotgrip International today announced two new UK outlets for its range of quality anti-slip safety products in the Port of Blyth and the Port of Dundee. Both ports currently provide essential services and support to the UK North Sea offshore oil and gas and renewables sectors.

Commenting on this latest expansion, Professor George Yule, Chairman at Scotgrip International says: “Whilst our main roots are, and will continue to be, located in the north east of Scotland, there’s a compelling business case for us being present in other locations – both internationally and in the UK – as we extend our product range and diversify into other industry sectors.

We will now have outlets in Dundee and Port of Blyth, as both these areas fit with Scotgrip’s ongoing growth strategy and geographic spread. Blyth in particular is recognised as a key hub for renewable energy projects and for operational support to this sector.

We look forward to being at both these sites in a business cooperation with the TEXO Group, who are already key players in the UK North Sea energy industry and many other sectors. Our existing and future clients use these Ports regularly and our aim is to further support their safety product needs by being closer at hand.”

This recent announcement continues to support Scotgrip International’s UK and International expansion plans, with offices in the UK, North America, Thailand, Norway, the Middle East and Ghana and further focus in India and the Asia-Pacific region.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
