1. Unit Engineers and Constructers Ltd
Oil Industry Engineers | Established in 2004
Based in Pembrokeshire, Unit Engineers & Constructors Ltd currently employs 167 people and, as a venture, has exceeded its projections for turnover and profitability for the last 12 months. The company is involved in a range of different functions related to the oil and gas industry. These include prefabrication and installation of pipe and steelwork, construction of process plant and refinery maintenance. In support of these capabilities, the company has a highly-motivated team of project managers, engineers and supervisors leading a workforce of directly employed skilled craftsmen to undertake projects of all sizes within the oil and petrochemical, gas, power and other major industries. Current customers include major firms such as Total, Murco, Chevron, British Gas and Exxon. Major challenges during the recession have been the recruiting of sufficiently skilled labour and managing cash flow within its working capital facilities. The marketplace remains highly competitive and it is a significant challenge to pitch prices at a level acceptable to clients.
