MEMBER NEWS: Dron & Dickson and Orga agreement delivers UK growth

Dron & Dickson and Orga have announced an agreement to support the UK market for specialist CAA CAP437 and IALA compliant lighting systems. The agreement formalises a burgeoning partnership to support the UKs offshore Energy Infrastructure.

Orga BV completed their acquisition of Tideland Signal, providing Orga with the UK’s largest offshore install base of Aids to Navigation systems, complimenting the wide range of aviation lighting systems already in the manufacturers portfolio.

Dron & Dickson’s unparalleled expertise in aviation and marine lighting systems has naturally led to the collaborative agreement between both parties.

Dron & Dickson Engineering Services Director, Tom Irwin stated:

“We are delighted to formalise ties between both companies. This partnership offers our clients the opportunity to deliver a complete turnkey solution throughout the life cycle of Orga and Tideland Signal product lifetime. We’ve seen a great deal of interest from our offshore clients in our ability to maintain their existing Tideland Signal navigational products, from obsolescence management to complete upgrades.

This partnership demonstrates both parties’ commitment to ensuring best in class service, supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of legacy systems throughout the UKCS.

Our partnership has already provided our clients with multiple Circle and H, HMS, Obstruction lighting and Navigational Aid systems upgrades and our clients can rest assured this service offering will continue”

Jeroen Van Wolferen, Regional Sales Manager for Orga BV commented;

“The agreement has been developed in order to improve Orga’s ability to service demands for projects, products and spares from Orga’s UK client base. This will be achieved by
providing the UK market local support to their needs. Dron & Dickson’s expertise providing a complete turnkey solution to engineering and material supply means our customers can expect a reduced supply chain, without compromising on quality or expertise. Our clients expert efficient and timely responses and the highest level of competency in this specialised field, and Dron & Dickson have proven their ability to provide this.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
