Member News: 4MS Energy Transition Investment
Data Communications, Telecoms, and Cyber-Security specialist, 4MS Network Solutions Ltd, has announced the expansion of its business operations and the launch of a new office in Glasgow. Having many years’ experience within the Energy and Renewables sector the expansion aligns to 4MS Energy
Transition strategy with the opportunity to widen their business reach. Already experiencing demand in the renewables sector has resulted in expanding operations from their traditional Aberdeen base.
4MS has appointed Stuart Little as Business Services Consultant to lead the Glasgow operations. With over 30 years experience and a proven track record of establishing a similar business in central Scotland, Stuart brings a wealth of expertise to the role. Co-founder and Managing Director Hugh MacKay expressed his excitement about the expansion, stating, “Having a permanent presence in Glasgow is a significant milestone for 4MS. We are excited to bring our skills and expertise to central Scotland as many of our renewable energy customers have presence in this region. We are also thrilled to have Stuart on board as his business experience aligns perfectly with our goals.”
Stuart Little added, “I joined 4MS as I saw the potential for them to rapidly expand due to their track record and expertise in delivering solutions over many years. They have a highly skilled workforce of consultants and engineers renowned and trusted to deliver and support solutions in some of the most challenging locations, including industrial and offshore environments. The Glasgow office will allow us to engage in the wider market, including the expansion of renewables and industrial IoT markets for our services.”
Headquartered in Aberdeen, 4MS works with a portfolio of clients across the UK and globally. Deeply committed to being a trusted advisor and partner to their clients, 4MS focuses on delivering quality solutions. The team’s meticulous approach and culture, established since 2007 by the four founders who remain with the business in customer-facing roles, will support their business expansion.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

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.
