A Scottish Oil & Gas delegation will be visiting Ghana on the 21st and 22nd of January 2016. The objective of the trade mission is to gain firsthand experience of the Ghanaian market, meet potential customers, agents and joint venture partners, and understand the local market conditions and local content.
“I am delighted to be bringing such a large trade delegation from Scotland, all of whom are interested in helping to develop and build the Ghanaian oil and gas industry for the benefit of its citizens. Sub sectors represented include education and training; subsea engineering; winches; electrical product distribution; well construction and engineering services; and remote communications systems to name but a few,’’ says Gary Soper, Accra-based Regional Manager for Africa for Scottish Development International, who will be leading the delegation during their visit.
The statement notes that even though some Scottish companies are already operating in Ghana, there is scope for more to be active here through developing partnerships and transferring some of the technologies and skills that have been built up over the 50 years of operating in the North Sea.
The Delegation consist of some 14 scotish companies namely: 271 Offshore, ACE Winches, AEL Electrical, Core Specialist Services Ltd, Forth Valley College, JEE, McDermott, Glasgow Caledonian University, Peprime Ltd, Plexus, RigNet, Robert Gordon University, Terasaki Electric (Europe) Ltd and Zenith Energy.
Companies interested in doing business with Scotland or the Scottish companies listed above can contact the Scottish Development International (SDI) at the British High Commission for a meeting with the delegation before the January 21, 2016.
