The UK arm of global firm Mermaid Subsea Services (MSS) plans to significantly grow its headcount in the north-east following a move to new premises in Westhill.
Its relocation from serviced office accommodation in the Neospace building on Riverside Drive coincides with a recruitment drive.
The business is predicted to mushroom to 50 people by the end of 2022.
And a bullish outlook on prospects is driving expectations of further growth in the headcount in years to come.
MSS (UK)’s Aberdeen-based management team decided to move the business into Pavilion 11 at Knight Property Group’s (KPG) Kingshill Park development in Westhill to accommodate further expansion.
A five-year lease has been agreed for Suite D of the building – giving the tenant 2,500sq ft of fully fitted out “plug and play” space, with electric charging points in the car park.
MSS regional director, Fraser Moonie, said: “We are thrilled with our new office base at Kingshill, which will be the hub for our UK subsea operations and accommodate our rapidly growing team.
“It offers excellent quality space in a great location, as well as giving us room to grow and expand in the future.”
