ATR Group is expanding into new markets throughout the UK, including a push into the downstream oil and gas sector as well as marine operations after investing £2million-plus in new plant and equipment.
The North Sea tool rental firm, headquartered in Aberdeen, is extending its reach into central Scotland and working to grow its business in England.
Chief executive Robert Skidmore said: “We have invested more than £2million in new plant and equipment including generators, compressors and zone-rated equipment, as well as consumable stock, to ensure that our fleet meets the needs of a growing and demanding rental market.
“The addition of downstream facilities including land-based refineries, such as St Fergus and Mossmorran, to our portfolio of clients, along with involvement in the north-east England region where a high volume of downstream work originates, completes the circle in terms of our work with the oil and gas industry. We have been heavily involved in the offshore stage of the process since our inception.
“The group is also continuing to work with customers in machinery purchase and re-rental at this time, which is another area of growth as contractors continue to streamline their business and reduce capital expenditure costs by selling owned equipment and renting it back, or discussing rental at the outset rather than purchasing high-end, expensive equipment which they may only need short-term.”
