Aberdeen inspection firm acquires city rival and safeguards jobs
The Altens-based company, which has a turnover of £3 million, has bought Future Access Solutions (FAS) for an undisclosed sum.
EuroES chief executive Darryl Anderson said acquiring the fellow Granite City business would 'safeguard' the jobs of the 20 staff who will transfer as part of the deal.
The firm, which now has 70 employees, is looking towards a bigger focus on the renewables market.
Darryl believes the acquisition is 'a natural progression' in uplevelling the existing service portfolio, whilst further enhancing the company's combined foothold in key onshore and offshore markets including civil engineering, utilities, food and drink, and offshore construction and maintenance.
He said: 'It puts us in a good position going forward because obviously having a rope access company as part of our portfolio opens up a whole new range of opportunities.
'Before, we'd outsource to third parties, but this acquisition is beneficial for us because we can make it more competitive when we're pricing for jobs.
'We look forward to benefiting from the knowledge and expertise of Andy's team as we pool our resources in to maximising future opportunities.'
Future Access Solutions was founded by Andrew Graham in 2018. He has more than 30 years of operational experience.
The company provides access consultancy and construction services to the offshore energy, marine and onshore civils, and construction sectors.
Andrew will move into a new role as multi-discipline services director at EuroES.
He said: 'Coming together with EuroES creates a unique opportunity to take the business to the next level.
'This new era will empower us to leverage our combined scale and expertise to continue delivering exceptional service to our customers and we are excited about what lies in store.'
Earlier this year EuroES announced it had doubled its turnover to £3m in the past year.
The company attributed this in part to the recent quadrupling of the work it has been carrying out in the North Sea.
Darryl said: 'This is a strategic move which will unlock future potential by combining our strengths to achieve greater innovation, expanded reach and enhanced value for our growing client base.
'We've got other plans for the business, which is mainly in line with renewables.
'I think we would like to get to a stage where at least half the business is dealing with that.'

Trump's clean energy cuts put future of wind, solar power in peril
Instead, the administration is promoting energy production from oil, natural gas and coal, which the Biden administration had made more expensive through regulations Trump is now dismantling. "They're basically trying to make it impossible or next to impossible to build wind or solar power in this country while at the same time rolling back regulations on fossil fuels," said Nick Krakoff, senior attorney with the Boston-based Conservation Law Foundation, a nonprofit environmental organization. Wind and solar power are two of the fastest-growing energy sectors in the United States and produced as much as 17% of the country's electricity last year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the statistical agency of the Department of Energy. Since taking office, the Trump administration has paused permits on all new wind and solar projects on public land, onshore and offshore. The vast majority of renewable energy projects - 95% - are on private land, according to a report by the Brookings Institution. But many of those require some type of federal approval and are also being stalled by the new rules. It's this push to end large-scale energy projects on private property as well that some in the energy industry consider especially troubling. "It's expected that every time you have a major change in administrations, policies on public land might change," said Jason Grumet, CEO of the American Clean Power Association. "But the willingness of this administration to create political and bureaucratic barriers to private economic activity on private land is something nobody anticipated." A shift that began Jan. 20 The dozens of new rules, mostly issued by the Department of the Interior, add multiple layers of permit requirements to an already thorough process - requirements that could slow or stymie some projects. "It looks like they are just trying to find any moment at which the federal government interacts with a project and putting it on this list," said Michelle Solomon, manager of the electricity program at Energy Innovation, Policy and Technology, an energy think tank based in San Francisco. The flood of new regulations began on Jan. 20 when the administration temporarily withdrew all permits for offshore wind projects. On July 7, all subsidies for wind and solar projects were ended, though federal subsidies for coal, oil and natural gas were left in place. On July 15, the Department of the Interior added multiple layers of review for all wind and solar projects on public land, including a requirement that the secretary of the interior sign off on each one. It was not clear whether these requirements will stop new projects from being permitted, but "at the very least it will slow decisions down - and a lot of the decisions are not controversial, they're routine," Krakoff said. On July 29, the department required wind or solar projects that have been approved but are being sued by opponents be federally reviewed and possibly canceled. Nearly a third of solar projects and half of wind projects that completed Environmental Impact Statements faced lawsuits, according to research by Resources for the Future, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit research institute. Targeting the renewable energy industry Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin said in March that the administration's efforts "are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion." The new rules will ensure that wind and solar projects "receive appropriate oversight when federal resources, permits or consultations are involved," Department of the Interior senior public affairs specialist Elizabeth Pease said in a statement emailed to USA TODAY. The directives are already having an effect. On Aug. 6, the agency announced it was reversing a permit for a 1,000-megawatt wind facility that had been approved in Idaho. "They're canceling meetings and taking down web pages," Grumet of American Clean Power said, adding that he sees the moves as "an unprecedented effort to weaponize bureaucracy to undermine an American industry." In early August, Nevada's Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo complained to the secretary of the interior in a letter that solar projects deep in the project pipeline have been frozen. "This is part of a pattern of targeting the renewable energy industry," said the Conservation Law Foundation's Krakoff. "It's pretty unprecedented to target an entire industry and undermine the rule of law." Power demands are at an all-time high and rising These actions could stop cold what has been the biggest contributor to U.S. power supplies at a time when power demands driven by global warming and the needs of artificial intelligence and data centers are pushing power consumption to all-time highs. "We need to build more power generation now, and that includes renewable energy. The U.S. will need roughly 118 gigawatts (the equivalent of 12 New York Cities) of new power generation in the next four years to prevent price spikes and potential shortages," said Ray Long, CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy." Only a limited set of technologies - solar, wind, batteries and some natural gas - can be built at that scale in that time frame." As of last year, 17% of electricity in the United States was created by wind or solar power. Of the new power generation projected to come online this year, 93% was expected to come from solar, wind or battery storage, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Solar power appears to be less impacted by the policy shifts than wind, Solomon said. "Certainly the administration is seemingly trying to do everything they can to slow progress for wind and solar - but they don't have unilateral control over everything," she said. "I think there's a decent chance that there's a lot of projects on private land, at least solar projects, that will not have federal permitting requirements." China has overtaken the United States on clean energy The shift comes as the rest of the world - especially China - make significant strides in moving to cheaper power from wind and solar. "I don't think the administration fully appreciates that if they were to tie their own hands, we could be retreating in that competition with China," Grumet said. China is installing wind and solar projects faster than any other nation and today has almost half the world's wind farms. In 2023 it built out more wind and solar than the rest of the world combined. In May, its solar power reached 1,000 gigawatts. The United States' current solar capacity is 134 gigawatts. A 1 gigawatt solar facility generates enough power to support about 200,000 households, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In the first quarter of this year, China was able to produce more energy through wind and solar than through coal and gas. As of July, the country made up 74% of all wind and solar projects under construction globally. China's enormous buildout of wind and solar power caused its carbon emissions to fall by 2.7% in the first six months of this year. Some experts believe its greenhouse gas emissions may have peaked. The country's combination of clean energy production along with the success of its electric vehicles has earned it the title of the world's first "electrostate." Fossil fuel-based nations are called "petrostates." None of this bodes well for the future of the United States on the world stage, said Julio Friedmann, an expert on carbon, hydrogen and biofuels at Carbon Direct, a company that provides climate solutions. "In all likelihood, the actions will strengthen China's position as global leader," said Friedmann, who also taught at Columbia University. "At worst, the U.S. may surrender its many advantages."

Six bedroom farmhouse with guide price of £19,000 sounds like a dream
Well, that dream could come true as a spacious, rambling, six bedroom grade II listed former farmhouse has been listed for auction with a Newport business - and the guide price is just £19,000. The stone-built property in the bucolic cream tea setting of Cotleigh, near Honiton, Devon, is surely too good an opportunity to miss. (Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) Sean Roper, of Newport-based Paul Fosh Auctions which is selling the property, said: 'This really is the one. It ticks all the boxes and probably even a few boxes that you may not have thought of if a West Country farmhouse is what you're after. 'This is a truly awesome farmhouse. If you're in the market for a place in the country then this surely must be at the top of your list. (Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) 'The farmhouse offers an incredible opportunity to purchase what really is a one of its kind type property bursting with character and charm, rural yet set in close proximity to the bustling local town of Honiton in Devon. (Image: Paul Fosh Auctions) 'This remarkable place, at Snodswell Farm, on Post Lane, Cotleigh, is set over three storeys meaning that there is loads of space for everyone to spread out. 'There is off road parking and front and rear gardens. The farmhouse, which is Grade II listed, has six bedrooms and truly breath-taking views to the rear over the surrounding Devon countryside.

Readers react as BrewDog announce closure of flagship bar with some calling it 'favourite pub in Aberdeen'
News of the impending closure of BrewDog's flagship bar has come as little surprise to Aberdeen punters. BrewDog Gallowgate has been in operation since 2010, earning the title of the firm's first-ever bar. However, after 15 years of trade, doors to the Granite City bar will close for good. The establishment is one of two getting the axe, with staff at their Camden-based bar in London also facing unemployment. Size, location and other 'limiting factors' were put down as major sticking points. Aberdeen punters have echoed their sentiments, with many citing a downturn in trade. Readers feel the BrewDog venue was simply 'too close' to their Castlegate offering. One reader wrote: 'Not really surprising – hardly ever anyone in it, it's too close to the Castlegate one, which is more visible to a passing crowd as well as being larger and having more menu options.' One man wrote: 'The Castlegate is so close and has better food options, so maybe not a huge surprise.' Another wrote: 'It was innovative at one time – but then they made it a middle-class pizzeria.' Some fear the industry will die out amid the downturn in footfall. Taking to the comments, one person wrote: 'Aberdeen's ghost town these days. Absolute dive. 'No pub will be seen in 5-10 years time.' A regular punter said he was sad to see the BrewDog bar go. They wrote: 'Sad to see my clubhouse going. It is a great wee pub and whatever anybody else says, it has great different beer, not the watery rubbish of Tennents, Carling and the like. 'They gave so much support in the early years to other craft brewers, and that's why we have different types of beer now.' Another described the venue as their 'favourite Aberdeen pub.' One person commented: 'What a shame. I remember when that used to be a local bar.'
