The North of Scotland is fast becoming the energy centre for Scotland, and possibly the UK, with major untapped renewable resources around its coastline and mainland, the UK’s leading inspection, repair and maintenance facility (IRM) for the oil and subsea markets, and significant nuclear and hydro industries.
This has resulted in a concentration within the area of renewables producers and service companies, and a supply chain for the Oil and Gas industries that contains both major and specialist contractors, much sought after by the producers and drilling contractors working within the North Sea area and overseas.
The North Scotland Industries Group (NSIG) with its membership of commercial businesses and organisations promotes the collective membership and the wider economic area, as well establishing opportunities and addressing issues that concern the membership. This is achieved through co-operation with other agencies, promoting the group at trade events, meetings with relevant contacts in the target markets, and use of the media and political lobbying where required.
Membership benefits include:
- Quarterly networking events with major speakers from the target markets
- Access through the website to “members only” information on opportunities and contacts
- Being profiled through the Business North newsletter, the website and at national and international exhibitions
- Access for relevant companies to the focus and action groups for the Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Caithness & Orkney, and Moray & Inverness
- Political lobbying, both with MPs and MSPs, as well as attendance at committees in Holyrood
"Our mission is to improve and enhance the business prospects of our members and the wider Highland community through collaborating internally, as well as externally with appropriate agencies. We will promote and market the available skills, services, and facilities to the energy markets in the UK as well as overseas, and address Issues of Concern that may be deemed to be detrimental to the economic growth of business in the North of Scotland"
