Energy sector services company CLS Offshore has invested about £350,000 in new offices at Hull, UK, with plans to add a fabrication workshop in the near future.
CLS expects to rapidly build its office team in Hull to 25, with up to 75 new onshore recruits following once the fabrication unit is complete.
The new office at the Marfleet Environmental Industries Park, one of Hull's most iconic industrial sites, was unveiled on January 2. An official opening will take place later.
"This will strengthen our position on the East Coast, help bridge the gap with Aberdeen, draw on the vast potential of the area and meet a demand from existing clients," said managing director Scott McMillan.
The Hull base will mirror CLS’s Great Yarmouth operations where they specialize in modern fabrication work, platform refurbishment, and petrochemical plant installation and support.
They have also diversified into offshore windfarm maintenance and launched a new electrical and instrumentation division.
CLS finance director Mark Pollard said the move came as the company currently showed more than 50% turnover growth year-on-year, with 58% of current profits being reinvested directly back into the company.
