The new 6300sq ft office space and 2000sq ft warehouse and workshop area is due for completion this month. Bibby is preparing for team expansion and planning a recruitment drive to increase the number of Bibby Subsea staff in the region by more than 70, both onshore and offshore, throughout 2015.
Bibby says its new purpose-built facility, located in the Houston Energy Corridor, is set to strengthen the business’s presence and enhance its on-the-ground support for clients in the region.
Robert Richmond has been appointed as vessel operations/project manager to help facilitate this growth, bringing to the business 33 years’ experience within the marine and subsea industries. For the last six years Richmond has been working for a major international subsea company based in Houston, where laterally he was Subsea operations director. With a career that has seen him work across the world, Richmond will help manage and develop Bibby Subsea’s operational capability.
Bibby says that following a number of successful contract wins in the region, the company is expanding rapidly and have outgrown its current Houston facility.
Bibby Subsea and Bibby Offshore has grown from 10 employees in 2003 to now employing more than 1450 people onshore and offshore worldwide, with offices in Aberdeen, Liverpool, Newcastle, Singapore, Trinidad, Houston, and Norway. The company has an international fleet of seven subsea support vessels and 17 ROVs, and will continue to add to its fleet to meet demand.
