A healthcare and emergency support firm in Aberdeen has enjoyed a boost in turnover and struck an alliance with a global medical and security group.
International Medical Management (IMM) said it has more than doubled its turnover in the last year to £500,000 and secured a partnership with CEGA.
IMM, which provides travel and health services, said the increase in turnover came as a result of contract wins in the oil and gas, renewables and fishing industries.
IMM also operates the only travel clinic in Aberdeen to be accredited by the Medical Advisory Service for Travellers Abroad (MASTA).
The alliance with CEGA, a provider of medical and security assistance with a world-wide reach will give energy industry clients emergency access to global trauma doctors, together with medical support from CEGA’s 24-hour UK response centre, IMM said.
Susan Reid, general manager IMM said: “Despite the downturn, we have continued to grow and invest in our personnel, technology and capability to provide a unique ‘out of the box’ way of thinking on how best to provide health care for the energy industry.
“Partnering with CEGA allows us to offer a holistic medical service. CEGA’s multinational, multi-sectoral expertise significantly expands our network.”
Jody Baker, commercial director at CEGA, added: “This partnership delivers optimum medical support to workers in the oil, gas and renewable energy industries, by uniting the skills of our specialist clinical teams worldwide.
“Our current support to the offshore subsea sector has provided us with a global knowledge of the energy industry. IMM’s determination to drive change and employee welfare was a key factor in our decision to work with them as our preferred partner.”
CEGA was recently acquired by insurance services group Charles Taylor earlier this year in a £30million deal.
IMM was established by Dr Jean François Foucher, Ronan Petton, Dr Tarek Mostafa and Captain Stuart MacBride in 2004. Mr MacBride is also chairman of offshore services and catering specialist, Trinity International services.
