Unexploded ordnance firm whose campaign has been spearheaded by Joanna Lumley on growth path

An unexploded ordnance disposal company has expanded its operations after taking space at an Aberdeen business park.

Eodex, which operates globally, has agreed a new two-year lease with Moorfield Group, the owner and landlord of Aberdeen Energy and Innovation Parks at Bridge of Don.

Having been based in the Innovation Centre for just over a year, the firm has relocated to a larger office suite in the Enterprise Centre on the Energy Park site. The business has the option to upsize further as required.

The firm supports offshore and underwater projects by offering “world-class capabilities” to deliver unexploded ordnance disposal work. It also provides precise explosive cutting systems for underwater decommissioning projects.

The company’s #StopSeaBlasts campaign has been spearheaded by actress and environmental campaigner Joanna Lumley.

Bernie Morrison, executive director of Eodex, said: “As the UK and global economy transitions from oil consumption to renewables energy development, we have seen a rapid growth in demand for our sustainable technologies.

“Having started with just three employees in Aberdeen last year, our team has more than doubled and we anticipate further growth over the next year.

“We were keen to grow our business on the Energy Park and our new, larger office space in the Enterprise Centre is ideal for our business requirements.”

“The Enterprise Centre offers the ideal workspace for a forward-looking, ambitious and hard-working business like Eodex and we are delighted to see them continue to grow and develop with us.”
