ENGINEERINGNET.EU – The rebranding takes place on the same day that the group unveils a £25million pound two-year contract extension with a major North Sea operator that will generate around 30 new offshore positions in 2012.
The new contract will see the continued delivery of a wide range of integrated services including insulation, passive fire protection, blasting, painting, electrical, vessel cleaning and specialist access solutions, across three assets.
'RBG continued to grow throughout 2011', states Stork in a press release, 'when the company delivered record sales. This was driven by strong UK sales, an increase in RBG’s international operations, particularly in Azerbaijan and the USA, and the expansion of the diving & subsea business'.
Doug Meikle, CEO for Stork Technical Services : « The recent contract extension and last year’s record sales at RBG again demonstrate that we acquired a major player and established support partner in the oilfield services market. »
