Laurencekirk-based Blaze Manufacturing Solutions will contest an Offshore Achievement Award on Thursday (22 March) at a ceremony being held in the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.
The SPE Aberdeen Offshore Achievement Awards recognise and celebrate innovation and collaboration in the oil, gas and renewables industry and are the biggest and longest established industry awards for the UK offshore energy sector. Blaze has been shortlisted in the Great Company (SME) category.
Blaze was established in 2006, providing fire safety solutions to the oil and gas, renewables, mining, commercial and industrial sectors. This involves all aspects from front end definition of concepts, detailed design, supply, installation, commissioning and maintaining of active fire extinguishing systems and fire alarm systems both in the UK and internationally. Blaze employs 35 people across the North-east and has a contracting team of up to a further 30 people working across the globe.
In January, Blaze won the FSB Scotland Family Business of the Year award.
Managing director Howard Johnson said: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for an offshore achievement award. Blaze is team-effort and so the recognition deserves to go to our staff and contracting teams who have helped us to grow over the past twelve years.
“Blaze will continue to believe in, and develop our people and we will never stop innovating and challenging the norm in our industry.”
