Oil and Gas Event in Refurbished College Breaks Attendance Record

Last year’s record attendance was broken at Banff and Buchan College’s annual Oil and Gas Event on Thursday 16th February.

Over 900 delegates attended the event which was, for the first time, held in the atrium of the newly refurbished College building in Fraserburgh.

As well as being able to speak to College staff, guests were able to chat to representatives from leading Oil and Gas companies including Vroon Offshore, ACE Winches, Springtech, Genesis Recruitment, ECITB, Technip UK Ltd, Schlumberger, Falck Nutec, Gray & Adams, Score Group, Wood Group, Enermech, Halliburton, and AMEC. Guests were also able to speak to Army, Royal Navy/Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, Skills Development Scotland, and Aberdeen College representatives.

College Principal Paul Sherrington said “I was delighted to see such a high turnout at Oil and Gas Event, it is great that so many people came along to see what’s on offer at the College to help them pursue a career in the Industry.

“I am also pleased to see that the popularity of this event is increasing; delegates travelled from as far North as Tain and also from the Scottish Borders.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the companies that exhibited at the event for taking the time to come along and speak to our current and prospective students.”
