We started the week being named in the Sunday Times Top Track 250 for the first time and ended it by winning the prestigious EIC Collaborative Company of the year award! Beating other short-listed companies Wood and Lionweld Kennedy, being commended for our work in reducing costs and increasing efficiency at the major sites we manages across the country.
A tremendous recognition for the fantastic work that the px team has put in alongside our partners and clients to support us in being successful, which has helped deliver incredible growth for px itself.
The Collaboration Award judges specifically focused on companies who have demonstrated how partnerships can enhance efficiencies, reduce costs and enable new technologies and business development strategies to flourish.
Mark Kenrick, said:
“We are delighted to have received this award from the EIC. It reinforces our belief that the collaborative way in which we operate the assets under our control, brings significant benefits to all parties involved – from asset owners, service and infrastructure customers through to our employees and shareholders.
“Our partners see the performance of their assets improve significantly as we drive down costs, whilst improving efficiency and delivering a better financial return, without compromising safety and environmental standards.
“Successful collaboration with clients has driven our ability to take on more work and to win new business and to take on more contracts which has enabled us to continue to grow – something we have done significantly over the past 17 years, increasing turnover from around £10 million in 2001 to one that is now closer to £200 million today.”
EIC CEO, Stuart Broadley said:
“px has proven that working collaboratively can make a real difference to project costs and efficiencies. Its work with the St Fergus Gas Terminal operator in Aberdeen, for example, has led to a world class level of availability and delivered reliability at over 99.9%”
