ATR GROUP INVESTS IN GREAT YARMOUTH

ATR Group, the leading provider of rental, sales and services of equipment solutions, power generation and lifting services to the UKCS have invested into the Great Yarmouth region by opening a branch to support the Oil & Gas market in the offshore southern north sea sector and onshore fabrication yards and petrochemical sites.

Operations Director, Mike Robertson says “This development has been completely client driven. A number of our key clients have been asking us for some time to support their business in Great Yarmouth as they have a need for our full range of equipment, supported with our technical expertise.

“We’ve recently secured further investment of over £20 million from NBGI Private Equity and the Clydesdale Bank which has allowed us to accelerate this particular expansion and we are now fully operational from modern premises on South Denes Road, Great Yarmouth.

“We are delighted to announce that Paul Kettless has joined us as Branch Manager and he will lead our team of local engineers who have worked in the region both onshore and offshore for many years. They have all been through intensive training in Aberdeen and are fully proficient on the service, maintenance and inspection of our equipment. Their skill sets are both mechanical and electrical thus ensuring that the equipment that we provide complies with the high standards required by the offshore and petrochemical environment. We are also sole distributor for HavMeter so we will be offering a fully outsourced Hand Arm Vibration monitoring service to customers and as distributors of Hodge Clemco we will be reselling their product lines locally”.

Our Group is certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001 so the team are working to these standards and use the same operating systems as we do elsewhere in the UK and abroad.
