Global Energy Group has undergone a rebrand and will now be known simply as Global.
Group companies Global Port Services, Global Crane Services, Global Wind Projects, Global Infrastructure and Global Power Services (formerly Approved Power Services) will each undergo a brand refresh.
GEG Capital, the investment arm of the group, will also operate under the new Global identity, while portfolio companies Apollo, Aventus Energy, Bracewell, Capstone Construction, Arthian, Calder Electrical, Scot Build, Cammach, Global Highland, Be Personnel and Chance Recruitment will retain their current corporate identities.
Global has also unveiled plans for a new 2,000 sq m headquarters.
Now focusing on being a leading end-to-end industry partner to the energy, infrastructure and utilities sector, Global aims to grow its turnover from £300m to £500m within three years.
Growth will be driven by Global’s hybrid investor/operating model, which includes its energy services portfolio, together with investments that previously sat under GEG Capital, concentrated in consultancy, construction and recruitment.
Collectively, Global employs in the region of 2,000 people.
Chair Roy MacGregor said: “We are really excited to share our new brand and vision which sets our course for the next five years.
“With a new, future focused brand – and a move toward a hybrid investor/operator model, with a people and technology-led solutions provision – we are confident we will nearly double our turnover within three years.
“This will see us explore new markets and synergies between group companies, creating hundreds of new, long-term skilled employment opportunities across Scotland and beyond, as we establish Global as the UK’s leading energy and infrastructure partner
“Following the recent high-profile sale of the Port of Nigg, the group is energised by the opportunity that lies ahead,“ he continued, adding: “There’s huge potential for growth within the energy and utilities sector and we have exciting new plans for the group to grow it significantly both organically and through acquisitions as we explore new markets.”
MacGregor also broke ground on Global’s new multi-million pound headquarters, on Highland and island Enterprise’s Inverness Campus Freeport zone.
Having outgrown its long-term Henderson Road HQ, the new office will facilitate future growth, creating space to accommodate up to 50 new staff.
The move to new premises comes on the back of a sustained period of growth, which has seen it add companies including: planning, environmental, sustainability, engineering and safety consultants Arthian (formerly Mabbett and IKM Consulting), energy infrastructure business Approved Power Services, and construction companies Capstone Construction and ScotBuild.
