MEMBER NEWS: Subsea controls specialist celebrates awards double and hat-trick

Leading subsea controls specialist J+S Subsea is celebrating after scooping two prestigious industry awards.

At the Subsea Expo Awards at P&J Live in Aberdeen, the Kintore-based company lifted one of the night’s most sought-after accolades when it was crowned Company of the Year (under 50 employees). In addition, Environmental and Sustainability Adviser Kairvee Tyagi was named as the winner of the Rising Star category in what was described as: “a strong field of nominees.”

The news continues a momentous run in the world of awards, with J+S Subsea also recording a hat-trick of finalist’s places in the prestigious Centre for Engineering, Education & Development (CeeD) Awards 2024.

With more than 100 applications received this year, the CeeD Awards are hotly contested across a range of categories, with winners to be announced in Glasgow on February 29th at a special event set to be attended by more than 600 people.

The company has also reached the finals of the prestigious Offshore Achievement Awards in the category for Exceptional SME/Founder and won the Sustainability Award at the Decom Mission awards last year.

The latest announcements continue the company’s ambitious growth plans in the renewables, decommissioning and other sectors, and they recognise an important stride forward in expanding the global footprint of the 30-strong team headquartered in Aberdeenshire. They come just months after the company’s largest single contract since a management buyout and keep it on track to achieve revenues of upwards of £10 million.

Commenting on the news from the Subsea Expo Awards, J+S Subsea Managing Director Phil Reid said: “We are incredibly proud of Kairvee and the rest of the team. These important awards are valuable industry recognition of everyone’s efforts in ensuring J+S Subsea stays ahead of the curve and at the forefront of our sector.”

He added: “Reaching the finals of no less than three sections of the prestigious CeeD Awards represents further important recognition of the hard work and dedication shown by the entire team, including Lucinda Craig whose energy and drive is replicated across our team.”

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.
