Bringing the Valve Supply Chain to Amec, Aberdeen

Published: 5th December 2013 | Issue 27 Share article:

BVAA led a delegation of ten members at a supply chain event held at Amec’s Aberdeen base; Seafield House. The Oil and Gas consultancy had handpicked and invited ten BVAA members to exhibit to its Engineering and Purchasing departments.

Over 130 employees from Amec as well as BG Group, Sinopec and ConocoPhillips who are working on projects based at Seafield House visited the event. Delegates at the event ranged from newly recruited graduates to experienced heads of department. Feedback from those at Amec was excellent

Graham Clarke, Supply Chain Manager commented:

‘The exhibition was well received within AMEC and we had a very good turnout on the day. It is important to us to keep staff up-to-date on the latest technological and mechanical innovations. BVAA managed the event very professionally, we are very thankful to Rob and his team.’

The BVAA members that attended had a chance to make new contacts at Amec and reaffirm existing relationships; all ten companies were pleased with how the day went. BVAA are continuing to pursue similar events at major companies within the UK.

Could you benefit from meeting the Valve Supply Chain?

Would your company benefit from a zero cost ‘desktop exhibition’ of valve and actuation companies? More and more operators and contractors are finding that BVAA exhibition is an excellent educational opportunity for their Engineering and Purchasing departments. Recent successful events at Amec, Petrofac and Worley Parsons are testament to this.

BVAA’s Marketing and Communications Manager Jimmy Phillips comments:

‘Increasingly contractors are being encouraged to optimise processes while simultaneously guarantee performance. Often the solutions are out there, but it is difficult for engineers to spend time researching these due to time pressures. BVAA desktop exhibitions allow Engineers to meet several solutions providers over the course of a lunchtime. The end result can be a cost saving or a performance improvement for their project.’

If your company is interested in hosting a desktop exhibition or supply chain event, please contact Jimmy Phillips on 01295 221 270.
