Aiken Marine Sees Upturn In Overseas Business
A division of Aberdeen-based Aiken Group announced an upturn in its overseas business in recent months.
Aiken Marine, which supplies a range of services to the global marine and offshore industries, has seen a rise in its business supplying and brokering newbuild resale drilling jackups and offshore supply vessels in Mexico, West Africa, the Middle East and Far East.
Marine manager Steve Grant said, “In order to be at the forefront of any industry, we believe it is important to have to have a presence or representation in the regions in which you operate. This is something which we have strived to achieve since the business began and have successfully formed alliances in many of the key global regions, both for the benefit of our division and for the group as a whole.”
Aiken Group managing director Danny Donald added, “This news underlines the importance of the flexible and creative approach we have used to grow our business and we anticipate that the combined strengths of the company’s constituent parts will help us to weather the challenging times in which we operate.”
