Exceed are securing jobs and livelihoods

working in projects in the North Sea, Canada, West Africa and the South East Asia.

Mr Anderson said: “As we grow we will look to use the people we know and trust as much as possible.”

Al Brockie, head of wells management at Exceed, said: “Traditionally, ADTI has had a strong presence in the North Sea whereas the majority of Exceed’s projects have been delivered internationally. This partnership not only bolsters our global credentials and renews our focus on the North Sea, but also allows Exceed to evolve i nt e r n a l s y s t e ms and processes which will result in significant benefits for clients.

“The move also sends an important message to the industry in a time when thousands of jobs are at risk across all sectors and many talented professionals are being made redundant purely as a result of cost saving measures.

“Companies that are still in a position to continue expansion plans should be making the most of this opportunity. The events following the closure of ADTI have been a prime example of how collaboration within the industry can secure jobs and livelihoods.”

Mr Anderson added: “This is an opportunity for us to continue servicing existing customers and preserve the ADTI bloodline, quality and levels of service.

“Our team brings strong historic client relationships with a number of North Sea based operators and we are very optimistic that this newly combined service offering and track record will re-open doors both locally and nationally.”
