FERGUSON Modular, a supplier and manufacturer of offshore accommodation solutions for the energy industry, has appointed a chief operating officer to lead its accommodation-support vessel division.
Graham Cowperthwaite has many years’ experience in senior roles managing energy industry sites both onshore and offshore for companies including KCA Deutag Drilling and OIS International.
Ferguson Modular, part of Inverurie-based Ferguson Group, is investing £25million in its first accommodation-support vessel.
It is currently being outfitted and it is anticipated the vessel will be available for projects from June.
The new appointment follows the departure of Tim Sheehan, chief executive at Ferguson Modular, to Rotech Subsea at the end of last year.
Ferguson Group employs more than 150 people worldwide through its divisions serving the offshore container-rental and accommodation-module markets.
