MEMBER NEWS: Pier Solutions Announces New Leadership Team

Pier Solutions, a leading engineering and modular solutions provider, has announced strategic appointments to strengthen its Leadership Team with a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Finance Director (FD) as it targets growth in the energy sector.

Jordan Ferguson joins the company as CEO after serving the role on an interim basis from late 2023.  His experience in commercial roles spans positions at Valor Energy Group, Hutcheon Mearns and H2scan, as well as running his own Consultancy to support businesses with investment and strategic growth.

Doug Gibb joins Jordan as Finance Director with over 10 years experience in senior finance positions.  Doug has previously worked alongside Jordan, as part of their consultancy offering and has also supported several SMEs through periods of significant growth in the energy industry, both domestically and internationally.

Jordan and Doug join members of the original management team also recently promoted, along with the wider team of 22 staff.  Plans are now in place to recruit additional staff in the coming months to support the business in delivering the new strategy.

The new leadership team is the driving force behind the growing business that offers in-house design, manufacturing and build of bespoke modular solutions for the energy sector. With workshops in Aberdeenshire and Dundee, the team has worked on bespoke projects from design to fabrication with an impressive portfolio of clients servicing Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Hydrogen projects, and Clima-tech clients across the energy transition sector.

Newly appointed CEO, Jordan Ferguson, commented: “I’m delighted to have joined Pier Solutions on a permanent basis to support the existing team as we focus on an exciting and busy 2024.  The heritage of the business and the expertise of the team is impressive and I’m excited to harness the knowledge we have as we expand and grow.

“Both Doug, the wider team and I, have strong ambitions for the business that will utilise the range of our in-house design, manufacturing and fabrication capabilities. The opportunities in the energy sector including Hydrogen, BESS, Offshore Wind, and Carbon Capture are huge and we have provided a number of solutions for our clients to date, in this space. I am looking forward to growing the company with the fantastic team we have and looking ahead to entering new markets. We will now also be fully focused on bringing further investment into the business as we deliver our strategic plan and wider support across all sectors.’’

Pier Solutions has headquarters in Kintore, Aberdeenshire with an in-house engineering team of structural, architectural and electrical onshore and offshore engineers.

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.
