Centurion Group and ATR Group are to merge to create a group that will have a combined turnover of over £100 million, will operate from bases in the UK, Netherlands, Caspian, Singapore, Australia and the US.

The Group will continue to be headquartered in Aberdeen with ATR鶹ýӳs chief executive, Keith Moorhouse, and chief financial officer, Euan Leask, becoming CEO and CFO respectively. Centurion鶹ýӳs acting CEO Peter Stuart will take on the role of chairman of the combined entity, while Alan MacLeod, Centurion鶹ýӳs CFO, will assume the role of director of integration.

Centurion Group provides specialist rental equipment and services on a global scale to both the oil and gas and the mining sectors. It comprises six business units: Conserve Oilfield Services, Jacks Winches, RentAir Offshore, Seanic Ocean Systems, Tristar Water Solutions and Mining Camps Australia.

ATR Group is a leader in the rental, sale and inspection of specialised equipment to the petrochemicals, marine, subsea and offshore oil and gas industries. Its five business units are ATR Equipment Solutions, ATR Lifting Solutions, ATR Power Solutions, Underwater Engineering Services and Safety & Technical Hydraulics.

Mr. Moorhouse said: 鶹ýӳThis is a great deal for both parties and their shareholders, all of whom remain in the business. It is also good news for the industry in general, especially at this difficult time. By combining our strengths and creating synergies, we will have a group that is significantly greater than the sum of its parts.鶹ýӳ

鶹ýӳThe merger puts us in a strong and stable position to deliver wider, cost-effective solutions, and on a global basis, that will appeal to our customers鶹ýӳ in today鶹ýӳs difficult market. The wider geographic footprint provided by the merger will allow us to provide our fleet management services over a number of locations, enabling us to increase operational efficiencies for our customers.鶹ýӳ

Simmons & Company International, Managing Director, Nick Dalgarno, commented: 鶹ýӳThe merger brings together two groups which have a natural fit in order to deliver greater value for customers and realise opportunities which would not be available to either business on a stand-alone basis. The enlarged group will provide the scale to withstand the challenges of the current market and be very well positioned to win the recovery when it comes.鶹ýӳ
