One of the UK’s longest-established renewables companies, Dulas, is set to mark its 30th anniversary by doubling the size of its operations in Scotland this year.
Since opening its Stirling office in October 2010, Dulas, which employs over 100 staff in Wales and eight in Scotland, has firmly established itself as a leading provider of renewable energy solutions – including wind, hydro, biomass and solar consultancy and installation – for a number of high-profile clients in Scotland.
Mike Clay, marketing manager at Dulas, said: “Having conducted our business from a single base in mid-Wales for the past 30 years, the decision to launch a regional headquarters in Scotland was an obvious one and our success over the past 16 months has justified our decision to establish a base in Stirling.
“As a country rich in natural resources, Scotland has the perfect conditions for generating a significant renewable energy portfolio with the political will to do so and we are proud to have delivered some high performing projects for some of Scotland’s leading organisations. We look forward to strengthening our relationships with businesses and consumers in Scotland and building on our successes to date.”
With three decades of industry expertise, Dulas works with energy developers, high energy users and constructors in both the private and public sectors to deliver successful consultancy services and high performing hydro and wind installations. The company provides a wide range of services that include due diligence, planning and environmental consents consultancy, troubleshooting, project management, installation and system maintenance.
Since expanding into Scotland, Dulas has successfully delivered some high-performing projects, most recently the concurrent installation of two high head run of the river hydro schemes in Glenmoriston. The schemes at Allt an Eoin and Balnacarn deliver 450kW and 700kW of energy respectively. Dulas also recently delivered its first 100kW Northern Power wind turbine at a site near Stranraer.
Fundamental to Dulas’ growth in Scotland has been its ability to attract and retain high quality recruits from the around the country. Its team of renewables professionals in Scotland is set to double during 2012.
Speaking of its recruitment strategy, Mike Clay added: “From our experience, Scotland is blessed with an abundance of high quality renewable energy specialists and we are pleased to have built a team of well-respected experts to spearhead our growth here.
“As the demand for Dulas products and services continues to grow, we are confident we will find the high-calibre specialist staff we need to strengthen our team over the coming months.”
Dulas will be showcasing its work in Scotland on stand J29 at the All Energy event in Aberdeen on the 24rd and 24th May.
