Just four months a fire which destroyed the factory and offices of Ocean Safety’s depot in Port Glasgow, the company has opened its doors once again.
The company has re-located the Scottish office to Greenock, in a strategic waterfront position close to the Customs House and the site of a proposed new marina.
“We are back in business as of today,” comments Ocean Safety’s Managing Director, Charlie Mill, himself a former Greenock resident, but now based at the company’s head office in Southampton. “As previously, we are offering full liferaft and lifejacket servicing and the branch is re-stocked with our range of marine safety equipment. Van runs have started up once again delivering to our dealers and outlets in Scotland.” He also added in a relieved tone, “And the premises is located just behind the fire station...”
The new office is also endorsed by the MCA and also for SOLAS by its key commercial liferaft brand Zodiac.
Michael Scott, Branch Manager for Ocean Safety’s Scotland office says “We are really impressed that our staff have got the operation back up and running so quickly. We are look forward to welcoming back our customers and we apologise for the difficulties that they faced when we were out of action. “
Despite its losses Ocean Safety managed to contact all the customers from a temporary office within four days and went on to fulfil orders within a matter of weeks.
