Member News: COMET secures high-profile clients across diverse industries for its flagship Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis Software

Aberdeen, UK – December 2024 – As 2024 draws to a close, Aberdeen-based investigation and assurance specialist COMET is delighted to announce several new clients for its flagship Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis software. Demonstrating its adaptability across major accident hazard (MAH) environments, COMET continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in safety and operational excellence. 

 

New clients include TAQA in Abu Dhabi (Transmission & Distribution), PX Group in Teeside (Engineering & Asset Management), Enfinium (Energy from Waste), NEO Energy (Oil & Gas), Diamond Drilling, Dolphin Drilling (Oil & Gas), Forth Ports (major Port Operations) and Johnson Controls (FM,  Automations & Controls). These partnerships highlight the platform’s flexibility and effectiveness in addressing safety challenges across various industries. 

 

CEO Mark Rushton shared his excitement about the achievement, stating, “We are delighted to prove the agnostic capabilities of our flagship product with such a diverse range of contract wins.  Each represents a client leading the way in incident prevention in their chosen industries, and we couldn’t be prouder to help them build and sustain great operating and safety performance” 

 

This expansion follows a year of significant product development and business growth for COMET, adding a healthy six-figure value to its turnover. The company’s core philosophy that “prevention is better than protection” resonates with clients striving to anticipate and mitigate potential risks before they escalate into major incidents. 

 

In 2024, COMET reached several key milestones, showcasing its ongoing leadership in the industry. Among these were the expansion of its global footprint through a strategic channel partnership with RIMS, a prominent safety consultancy firm based in South Korea, in collaboration with LRQA. COMET also launched COMET Companion, an AI-powered chatbot powered by OpenAI, designed to simplify and enhance the user experience on the COMET platform. This feature provides live support to help users maximise the platform’s capabilities in Incident Management, Investigations and RCA, and Supply Chain modules.  

 

Additionally, COMET announced a partnership with Arcadis to improve EHS&S risk management solutions and joined the Discovering Safety initiative with Safetytech Accelerator, contributing to advancements in health and safety regulation in the construction industry. These achievements represent just a few examples of COMET’s commitment to innovation and raising safety standards worldwide. 

 

Looking ahead, COMET has ambitious plans for 2025. Rushton added, “2025 will be a big year for the business and its software products, with exciting developments on the horizon. Stay tuned for more significant news in Q1!”

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.
