Member News: From Adelaide to Aberdeen: Australian company chooses AM Sci Tech’s Energy Park for first UK location

AM Sci Tech, a subsidiary of Hurstwood Holdings and owner of Aberdeen Energy & Innovation Parks, is pleased to welcome Treadwell Group, as the newest occupier on the Energy Park for the company’s first location in the UK. 

Treadwell Group has signed-up for Unit F8 at the Enterprise Centre in Bridge of Don. This small first-floor office suite will initially accommodate 3 people. 

The expansion marks a significant step in Treadwell’s international growth strategy and highlights Aberdeen’s appeal as a destination for innovative global businesses. 

Founded more than 30 years ago, in Australian Treadwell has built a reputation for being a leading and trusted global provider of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) solutions, known for delivering durable High Specification Designed and Tested GRP Materials and Systems, giving ‘Fit & Forget’, low maintenance solutions. 

The company’s new facility in Aberdeen will serve as its UK base, supporting operations across the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Middle East. 

Ben Ross, Business Solutions Manager for Treadwell Group UK Ltd said: 

“The Energy Park provides exactly what we were looking for to service the UK, Europe and Middle Eastern regions, giving us an initial, modern, well-connected base that aligns with our operational needs and values. 

“As we continue to grow our presence across these regions, our goal is to offer the same reliable GRP solutions and engineering expertise that have served our clients for decades in Australia and the APAC regions.” 

Gordon Pirie, Asset Manager of Aberdeen Energy & Innovation Parks added: 

“We are delighted to welcome Treadwell to the Energy Park. Their decision to establish their first UK location here is a strong vote of confidence in Aberdeen’s growing reputation as a hub for international business. We’re proud to offer the infrastructure and community that can support their continued success.” 

Aberdeen Energy & Innovation Parks, located just 5 minutes from Aberdeen city centre, offer flexible space solutions for companies seeking high-quality facilities in a strategic location. With the addition of Treadwell, the parks continue to attract a diverse mix of tenants across technology, energy and professional services sectors.  

Set at the entrance to the Energy Park on Exploration Drive, the Enterprise Centre is Aberdeen Energy Park’s flagship office building, providing the ideal workspace for forward-looking, ambitious businesses. 

Knight Frank and Ryden are joint letting agents for Aberdeen Energy & Innovation Parks.

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.

Scottish Renewables

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.

Vattenfall

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.
