The investment represents Fusion Marine’s largest recruitment drive to date and the first major drive since the acquisition of a majority share in the business by Inverness-based Gael Force Group just four months ago.  This latest initiative follows a record year for recruitment in 2017 at Gael Force Group where more than 50 new jobs were created across the Group.

Stewart Graham, Managing Director of Gael Force Group, said, “Adding additional highly skilled people to our already exceptional Fusion Marine team in Oban will enable us to successfully engage in the large programme of planned work we have lined up, this including the production of our newest, largest and most innovative fish farm pen design to date.

He added, “The key result of a strengthened workforce will be that we are able to meet our strategic objectives while ensuring overall that we continue to deliver value to the market in support of our long standing key customers and in line with the growth aspirations of the Scottish aquaculture industry.”

Brendan O’Hara, local MP for Argyll and Bute commented “I am delighted to hear of this boost to the local economy and what is clearly a statement of confidence in Argyll and Bute.  I have met with Fusion Marine, I was really impressed with the work they do and I greatly welcome the news of further employment opportunities with the growth of this business.  I wish them all the very best for the future”
