The company plans to refurbish the site to create a more sustainable and efficient facility that supports its long-term growth plans and environmental ambitions.

Located within the North East Scotland Investment Zone, the acquisition highlights AMS Global Group’s commitment to Aberdeen as it continues expanding its operations across the UK and internationally.

AMS Global Group specialises in marine surveying and safety services and has developed a growing international presence from its Aberdeen base.



Neil Carr, managing director of AMS Global Group, said: "This acquisition is an important milestone for AMS Global Group and reflects our confidence in Aberdeen as the right location for the next stage of our growth.

"Barclays has been a supportive banking partner throughout the process and has played an important role in helping us bring these plans to fruition.

"As we continue to expand our operations across the UK and internationally, owning our premises gives us the certainty and flexibility to invest in a facility that supports our people, our customers, and our long-term ambitions."

David Loughlin, relationship manager at Barclays Business Bank, said: "AMS Global Group is an ambitious North East business with a growing global footprint, and we’re proud to support this investment in its future.

"This acquisition gives the business greater control over its operations, supports its sustainability goals, and anchors further growth here in Aberdeen.

"It’s a strong example of how access to finance can help businesses invest locally while competing and growing internationally."
