KEY figures from the UK’s oil sector will converge on Invergordon next month to discuss ways to strengthen the industry’s links between Aberdeen and the Highlands.
A two-day networking and awareness event – the first of its kind – has been organised by energy and engineering organisation North Scotland Industries Group (NSIG) and will be held on June 8 and 9 at Kincraig Castle Hotel.
Delegates will include representatives of the Department of Energy and Climate Change, Oil and Gas UK, Transocean, AMEC, Decom North Sea, Offshore Contractors Association and Scottish Manufacturers Advisory Service.
The event will include presentations, workshops, a share fair to showcase members from the north of Scotland, followed by site visits including trips to the Cromarty Firth Port Authority service base at Invergordon, RBG and Global Energy.
NSIG chief executive Ian Couper said: “The aim of this event is really to help raise awareness in the oil industry of the mutual benefits that exist from working together.”
With more than 120 members from Aberdeen to the Outer Hebrides and from Shetland and Orkney to Argyll, NSIG is well placed to provide a voice for the energy and engineering sector.
NSIG is a not-for-profit trade organisation which aims to promotes interests of the collective membership and the local economy in the north of Scotland.
