ABPmer Diamond Jubilee
October 1, 2010
ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd (ABPmer), a leading UK marine consultancy is celebrating 60 years of business serving the marine community.
Originally founded in 1950 as a government research station to meet the needs of the British Transport Commission; ABPmer has since diversified its business so that it is now a recognised advisor to a wide range of industries including coastal management, marine aggregates, offshore wind, cables as well as ports.
ABPmer is a specialist marine consultancy that seeks to create sustainable solutions for the marine environment offering clients a wide portfolio of environmental services to meet development aspirations and undertaking strategic research for government and its agencies.
Managing Director, Bill Cooper, said “It is pleasing to see how our range of technical specialisms has expanded in our 60 years. Whilst many clients still take advantage of our longstanding numerical modelling and environmental impact expertise, we now also enjoy a leading reputation in marine planning and managed realignment design.
ABPmer intends to continue to play a role in the sustainable development of the marine environment and I anticipate our services continuing to expand alongside growth in gas storage and marine renewable markets.”
ABPmer provides services across the UK and overseas and remains a wholly owned subsidiary of ABP Holdings Ltd.
