James Fisher has announced the acquisition of three communication brands after their parent company SeaEnergy called in administrators.
The company has revealed it will be acquiring R2S Visual Asset Management, R2S Forensic as well as digital product provider Max and Co from Aberdeen’s SeaEnergy, which has called in administrators KPMG after going bust.
Nick Henry, chief executive of James Fisher and Sons plc, said: “We see great potential in the combined provision of our specialist services and the dynamic visual information and creative capabilities of these brands.

For R2S it’s business as usual, with the company continuing with its programme of innovative asset management services.
