Lloyd’s Register (LR) group, the global provider of independent assurance and expert advice, has started work on its new energy division headquarters in Aberdeen.
Located at the Prime Four business park in Kingswells, the 100,000sq ft office complex is being built to LR’s specifications by park developer Drum Property Group.
It is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2017 and will have room for up to 900 staff.
The new facility will be the largest LR office anywhere in the world in terms of head count.
LR energy director John Wishart said: “While we appreciate we are operating in a challenging market, we are fully committed to supporting both the energy sector in the UK and our global energy operations with the talent available in the area.
“We are very much looking forward to expanding our base in Aberdeen, with our new fit-for-purpose office facility. It will become one of the hubs for our global energy operations.
“This underpins our approach of ensuring that we can help drive improved performance of UK oil and gas assets, while effectively managing risk for the sector.
He added: “The UK Continental Shelf has been pivotal in our energy business’ success to date and remains a key focal point for our operations. This investment is testament to our commitment to the region.”
