Offshore services business Hunting Energy Services has been confirmed as the title sponsor of this year’s Press and Journal Energy Ball.
The Portlethen-based company, which has worked in the UK oil industry since 1967, said it was delighted.
Managing director Bruce Ferguson said: “Hunting has gone through significant change over the last 10 years and strategic acquisitions have allowed us to expand our product portfolio from being known mainly as a tubular company to offering well intervention and thru-tubing products, well testing, drilling tools and perforating systems.
“The Energy Ball is a perfect platform for us to re-establish our position in the North Sea as well as celebrating the success of the energy industry.
“We have been attending the Energy Ball for the last few years and it is one of the highlights in the social calendar.
“It provides a night of fantastic entertainment and our clients have thoroughly enjoyed themselves – I am sure this year will be no different.”
In the last two years the Energy Ball has raised £62,000 for good causes, and this year’s chosen charity will be confirmed by Hunting next month.
