ENERGY and engineering trade organisation North Scotland Industries Group (NSIG) said yesterday that AMEC, which provides consultancy, engineering and project-management services to the world’s energy, power and process industries, had joined the group as its 100th member.
Employing more than 21,000 people in 30-plus countries and with annual revenue exceeding £2.6billion, AMEC is now the largest member of NSIG.
NSIG’s area of operation ranges from Shetland and across the Highlands to Aberdeen.
Its membership has more than doubled in two years.
Based at Invergordon, NSIG has eight focus groups covering its area, with the latest being established in Shetland in September. The groups discuss ways of raising the profile of companies in their immediate area and the support required to promote them at a national and political level.
NSIG chief executive Ian Couper, a member of two cross-party committees at Holyrood for renewable energy and oil and gas, said: “The fact that we have now secured our 100th member, and that it is such a prestigious company as AMEC, really shows how far the group has come in recent years.
“From initially being a networking organisation a few years ago, our size and geographic spread have enabled us to grow into an organisation of real strength, ensuring that members get their voices heard by local and national politicians and other key decision-makers.”
