Stork Technical Services reports its rebrand of the RBG group, following the company’s acquisition in May 2011. The rebranding takes place on the same day that the group unveils a £25million pound two-year contract extension with a major North Sea operator that will generate around 30 new offshore positions in 2012.

The contract will see the continued delivery of a wide range of integrated services including insulation, passive fire protection, blasting, painting, electrical, vessel cleaning and specialist access solutions, across three assets.

The award marks the continuation of growth experienced by RBG throughout 2011, when the company delivered record sales. This was driven by strong UK sales, an increase in RBG’s international operations, particularly in Azerbaijan and the USA, and the expansion of the diving & subsea business.

RBG also recorded excellent safety results in 2011 by reducing its LTIFR in the UKCS by more than 35% in 2011, following on from a 51% reduction in 2010 and by over 30% globally in 2011, following on from a 38% reduction in 2010.

Doug Meikle, CEO for Stork Technical Services, stated: “The rebranding of RBG to Stork Technical Services is a significant milestone for both organisations. The recent contract extension and last year’s record sales at RBG again demonstrate that we acquired a major player and established support partner in the oilfield services market. Combining the innovative services and skills of the entire group will open up many new opportunities with existing and future clients and ensure we continue to deliver a safe, quality offering.”
