International oilfield specialist Glacier Energy Services confirms the acquisition of Aberdeen-based Ross Offshore in a multi-million pound deal, further extending its onsite specialist technical support offering to the energy industry.

The purchase sees Glacier Energy Services establish an offshore division headquarters at Ross Offshore's modern facility at Peterseat Drive in Aberdeen.

Following the acquisition, Glacier has a combined turnover of more than £15million, with a global staff of 110 people across its operational hubs in Glasgow, Newcastle and its recently-opened South East Asia base in Singapore.

In line with Glacier's other companies – Roberts Pipeline Machines, Site Machining Services (SMS) and Wellclad – the business will retain the Ross Offshore brand while operating as part of the wider group.
