BACKDECK equipment maker Maritime Developments (MDL) has opened a new global head office in Aberdeenshire.
The move to Westhill sees the merger of two teams – previously spread between Aberdeen and Peterhead – allowing the company to consolidate the costs associated with running two premises, as well as increase productivity and improve internal communications.
MDL retains its quayside storage locations as well as its original Operations Centre in Peterhead.
Derek Smith, MDL chief executive officer, said: “As we continue to look to the future of our business, we have also continued to focus on making positive changes that would allow MDL to be more resilient and progressive in a challenging environment.
“Bringing the different departments under one roof strengthens further our ethos of One Team MDL, while giving us enough space to safely distance during the pandemic.
“I hope that before long we will be able to welcome our clients, strategic partners and colleagues within these walls, and accelerate this next chapter in MDL’s journey.”
