Supporting Aberdeen businesses
Aberdeen has been the centre of the UK's North Sea oil and gas industry for half a century, and the city's economy is still shaped by energy. Operators, service companies, subsea specialists and engineering consultancies fill business parks at Dyce, Altens, Tullos, Bridge of Don and Westhill, which has one of the world's best-known subsea engineering clusters. The industry is now shifting towards offshore wind, hydrogen and decommissioning, and the Net Zero Technology Centre is based in the city.
The Port of Aberdeen, including its newer South Harbour, serves offshore supply vessels and cruise ships, while Aberdeen Airport at Dyce handles a large number of helicopter flights to offshore installations. The University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University both have strong energy and engineering links, and P&J Live at TECA hosts major conferences and exhibitions.
That energy focus brings specific IT needs:
- Engineering consultancies and contractors with staff travelling offshore or overseas need secure laptops, MFA and remote support wherever they are.
- Smaller firms supplying operators are often asked to evidence security controls, patching and backups.
- Large technical files and drawings need sensible storage in SharePoint or file servers, with permissions that match project teams.
- Businesses that have shrunk or restructured with the oil price often need IT tidied up, licences cut back and old accounts removed.
Aberdeen also has plenty of hospitality, retail and service firms on Union Street and in the West End, which need the same basics as anywhere: a working website, reliable email and a dependable network.
