Interesting article from the local paper in Aberdeen:
BOND'S FRUITFUL RETURN TO NORTH SEA FUELS EXPANSION PLANS
08:50 - 27 July 2006
Bond Offshore Helicopters said yesterday the high level of activity in the oil and gas industry was encouraging plans for further development of the Aberdeen-based company.
It said that, with long-term contracts in hand valued at around £350million and 155 staff, it was seeking to expand operations - both in the UK and overseas.
Managing director Geoff Williams said: "The combination of our success since re-entering the offshore market in the North Sea two years ago, the strong oil price and continuing demand for our services means we are investigating new opportunities. This includes evaluating additional medium and heavy aircraft as possible additions to our fleet."
Bond operates seven SuperPuma AS332L Mark II helicopters - two of them dedicated to search-and-rescue operations, with the others operating crew change services.
The company's annual report for the year to March 31, 2005, just released by Companies House, shows that it made pre-tax profits of £1.12million on a turnover of £18.25million.
Any chance of CPL sponsorship then?
