Amec Foster Wheeler is celebrating 50 years of delivering world class oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and power projects from its Glasgow office, marked by celebrations for employees and their families at the weekend.

The company has been in Glasgow since 1965, where it first opened an office in Union Street. It later moved to West George Street in 1977 and finally to the current location at Foster Wheeler House in 1997 where over 200 people now work.

On Saturday, 8 August, the Glasgow team, joined by their families, celebrated 50 years of working in Glasgow to deliver projects across the globe, from Scotland to as far afield as Canada, Brazil, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Pakistan, Norway and China.

Iain Calcott, Amec Foster Wheeler’s Director of Operations in Glasgow, said: “We’ve seen many changes in this office, moving from drawing boards to our current advanced integrated engineering suite, and with the support of the company’s 40,000 staff across the globe, our Glasgow office is well positioned to continue to serve the oil and gas industry around the world.”

Amec Foster Wheeler designs, delivers and maintains strategic and complex assets for its customers across the global energy and related sectors.

With pro-forma 2014 annualised scope revenues of £5.5 billion and over 40,000 people in more than 50 countries, the company operates across the whole of the oil and gas industry – from production through to refining, processing and distribution of derivative products – and in the mining, clean energy, power generation, pharma, environment and infrastructure markets.

Amec Foster Wheeler shares are publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Both trade under the ticker AMFW.
