Aberdeen-based Integrated Service Solutions provider inspires future of energy sector in the north-east

As Stuart Charles Sinclair (managing director) and Peter Fraser (operations director) approach the end of their fifth year of owning and running the Integrity ISS Limited business, it’s been nothing short of a whirlwind journey to date for the Aberdeen-based duo.

Following a successful management buyout of the majority share capital interest in the business, it’s been nothing but hard work, determination and resilience to get the firm to where it is today, with ambitious plans to double their turnover to year end 2023 based on their current pipeline of opportunity and secured contracts to date.

The business, a provider of Integrated Service Solutions, is also looking to embark on a three-year strategy to diversify into new markets, including renewables, infrastructure and utilities.

Throughout 2022, the business has continued to strengthen its management team and overall service and solutions capabilities with the introduction of Neil Stephen as business development manager, Danny Wilmoth as head of construction and commissioning, Bob Taylor as non-executive director of operations and maintenance, Michael Sim as non-executive director of inspection and Louise Bremner as head of accounts and finance.

This year the company is firmly on target to record its highest ever turnover of in excess of £3 million, with impressive residual returns.

Looking at their current demand plan for 2023, it’s looking as though next year is going to be another particularly busy year, which will see the business recruiting for various engineering, design, construction and commissioning trades to service contract demands predominantly within the UK onshore and the UKCS offshore markets.

Part of the business strategy will see the

company expand capability to move into new markets but Stuart, Peter and the team are well aware of the importance that oil and gas will continue to play in the continued growth and success of the business, with them playing a key role in supporting a small part of the future energy demands of the UK.

With an ongoing skills shortage continuing to affect firms, the company aims to play a leading role in the development and upskilling of a local workforce to support current and future

demands from industry with an extensive skills pool of experienced, competent personnel.

Integrity has always prided itself on taking a solutions stance, operating as a one-stop-shop designed to solve clients’ problems by leveraging a formidable in-house pool of knowledge of all things UKCS.

One of the major challenges continuing to face the oil and gas industry today is ensuring the safe operation of ageing assets and nowhere is this more important than in one of the world’s most mature offshore arenas, the North Sea.

Since its inception in 2018, the firm continues to focus on the safe and efficient delivery of services to support clients to maintain asset integrity, increase plant uptime, improve asset performance and optimise operating expenditure by providing support to plant turnarounds, operations and maintenance, plant integrity management (find and fix), construction, commissioning and decommissioning projects.
