A specialist north-east oil and gas industry fire safety protection company has relocated its headquarters to new premises at Laurencekirk after securing new contracts worth £15million.
Blaze Manufacturing Solutions, which was launched in 2006 by Howard and Ann Johnson, has moved from its base at Stonehaven to a site on an acre of land at Laurencekirk Business Park. The firm, which works with major oil and gas operators to design and supply fire protection systems and loss prevention services, has invested £500,000 in the offices, which span nearly 13,000sq ft.
Blaze House is home to 30 members of staff and 100 contractors.
The company is also investing £30,000 a year in new offices at Kemnay, near Inverurie.
