The launch of a new Aberdeen-headquartered service provider to the energy sector has started with the acquisition of two long-established north east businesses.
Aurora Energy Services has bought Huntly-based offshore services and fabrication company R&M Engineering, following on from its first acquisition in December 2022 of rope access and training business Inverness Access Training Services (IATS).
All jobs at IATS and R&M Engineering have been secured, and in the next 12 months Aurora expects to increase its current headcount of around 80 to 200, as it rolls out a programme of strategic acquisitions and invests more capital in organic growth.
