East Point Geo has been a key partner to our rapidly growing renewables unit OWC across a number of offshore wind projects, and we have been continuously impressed with the quality of their delivery. Their complementary expertise enables us to offer a complete range of geoscience consultancy services to our clients, and provides additional growth opportunities particularly within renewables. Our ambition is for 50% of our revenues to come from renewables and sustainability oriented services by 2025, and East Point Geo will help us achieve that objective”, says David Wells, CEO of AqualisBraemar LOC.
“This transaction represents an exciting new chapter for East Point Geo.
