ROVOP has been named Great Small Company at the SPE Offshore Achievement Awards. The award recognises exceptional business growth, innovation, safety breakthroughs and collaborative efforts.
ROVOP has experienced outstanding growth since the company’s inception in 2011 as a subsea specialist focused on delivering ROV services. The Aberdeenshire-headquartered company has created more than 40 highly skilled, export-driven jobs in the last 18 months. With GBP 3.5 million worth of contracts signed in January alone. Managing Director Mr Steven Gray said “This industry recognition is a great achievement for ROVOP, particularly in a year when many subsea companies have also enjoyed considerable success.
It is also a huge testament to the whole team’s hard work and commitment to helping to establish the company’s leading position and ensure its on-going success.
“Over the past 18 months, ROVOP’s business has grown significantly through a combination of investing in strong, skilled people and developing a cutting edge fleet of ROVs. We have pledged a further commitment of GBP 15M over the next 18 months, which will see the purchase of hydraulic and electric ROVs, creating an additional 60 jobs.
“Our reputation has resulted in a series of major contract wins across the UK and Europe and this reputation will be further strengthened through industry accolades such as the SPE Offshore Achievement award.”
The award is the third that ROVOP has won in just nine months. In June 2012, ROVOP was named Promising New Business at the Grampian Awards for Business Enterprise.
