Business in Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

Aberdeen and the shire around it run on energy, and the pattern shows in where the work sits: corporate and professional offices in the city, aviation and logistics at Dyce beside the airport and the heliports, the subsea and engineering cluster at Westhill, and fabrication and oil-service supply on the Badentoy estate at Portlethen. Much of it is international, much of it is shift-based, and a growing amount of it is repositioning towards offshore wind and hydrogen — which changes the customers but not the requirement to be reachable around the clock.

Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire — common questions

We work out of Aberdeen to rigs and offshore schedules. Does that change how phones should be set up?

Considerably, because the working day is not one. Calls arrive around the clock and across time zones, so routing has to reflect a rota rather than office hours, and the fallback needs to reach somebody on shift rather than a daytime mailbox. It is also worth reporting on out-of-hours volume separately, since it is the part most often undercounted and understaffed.

Connectivity in rural Aberdeenshire is poor. What can actually be done?

More than there was, though we would not pretend the answer is always good. Fibre has reached the larger towns; out towards the coast and inland it frequently has not, and the honest option is a 4G or 5G circuit, which is live in days and needs an aerial rather than a trench. John Otto knows which addresses are genuinely difficult rather than guessing from a coverage map.
