He is Integrity's first employee in Denmark, general manager for Northern Europe Torben Lüthje Hansen. The director position means that he will be responsible for the markets in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway.
- We provide services to offshore within oil, gas, wind in addition to PtX and CCS, says Torben Lüthje Hansen and adds:
- We specialize in multi-skilled high-end blue collar labor.
And even though the company is only just opening in Denmark, it is already part of Tyra II.
- We have 30 people on Tyra, and they will probably work there for the rest of the year, estimates Torben Lüthje Hansen.
- We are quite good at making workload scopes within almost everything, such as on Tyra with shut down and hook up of wells, it is said.
But the company now also has a foot in the maritime market.
- It is the mobilization and inspection of ships, explains he.
And it is no coincidence that the director has been hired to open the office in Denmark, because Integrity started in 2016 in Aberdeen. After Brexit, working outside the EU is not the easiest exercise.
- Denmark is a bridgehead to the rest of Europe. The plan is that we will have our own people here in the office, eight to twelve project managers and technicians, says Torben Lüthje Hansen.
Two pioneers started Integrity
Although Integrity started in 2016, the company was founded by two experienced gentlemen in the offshore industry, Peter Fraser and Stuart Sinclair, with an investor behind them. The investor was bought out in 2019 when corona knocked on the door, but that did not stop the growth at all - on the contrary.
- Growth has only increased since they bought out the investor. We currently have around 60 employees, who are primarily based in Aberdeen. In addition, we have around 100 more who are permanently affiliated with us. We make sure that they have work, they buy into a job with us. And we have a new head office in the Energy Transition Zone (ETZ) in the Port of Aberdeen, says Torben Lüthje Hansen.
It is also a company with ambitions, which Torben Lüthje Hansen leads from Esbjerg. And the contact with the owners in Scotland is close.
- I have contact with the owners every day, and they are very committed and enterprising. I am very impressed with them and their quality management and workflows, says Torben Lüthje Hansen, pointing out that the company has all ISO certifications.
A future with growth
The Scottish owners have made plans, and they point to growth.
- They are always looking for opportunities. It could be, for example, the acquisition of a smaller engineering company within automation or electrical systems. It could also be a collaboration, says Torben Lüthje Hansen and adds:
- There is secure financing behind our ambitions. Last year we had a turnover of 10 million British pounds - which corresponds to approximately 88 million DKK. And this year we are budgeting for a turnover of 16 million British pounds, which is around 141 million DKK.
