Job title: Managing Director
Give us the elevator pitch for your business.
Amplus Energy is an FPSO specialist working across three core service lines: FPSO Solutions for Field Development, FPSO Ownership and Operations, and FPSO Consultancy. We help operators and FPSO owners get vessels into production, extend the life of existing assets, and bring in independent expertise at any project stage.
Who are your customers?
We work with independent operators, new licensees and FPSO owners globally. Customers include marginal field developers seeking a lower-cost route to first production, FPSO owners managing late-life assets who want to extend commercial value, and operators wanting specialist consultancy input before committing to a full contract.
What is the biggest challenge and opportunity your organisation is facing right now?
Many operators and FPSO owners hold mature fields, suspended assets or non-core portfolios that don't justify new-build investment. Amplus addresses this through redeployment, life extension and consultancy-led engagement, giving clients a lower-cost, lower-commitment route to asset value. Our equity partnership with Finder Energy shows this model in practice.
What is your word of advice for fellow Chamber members?
Build on genuine commercial alignment. Aberdeen's energy supply chain thrives when businesses collaborate openly, share risk and think long-term. The Chamber's network has been invaluable for finding partners who think the same way, and for building relationships that go beyond a single transaction or project.
What is the best thing about being a Chamber member?
The quality of connections. Events like the Business Breakfasts put Amplus in the room with North-east decision-makers we wouldn't otherwise reach. For a growing FPSO company headquartered in Aberdeen, that visibility and the credibility the Chamber lends genuinely matters to how we build our reputation locally.
