This relocation comes amidst significant growth for the company, marked by expanded leadership, new contracts, and strengthened partnerships.

COMET, formerly STC INSISO, has experienced a period of sustained expansion, including the appointment of Paul Hastings as head of sales and Dr. Douglas Leith’s transition to chief intelligence officer. Strategic partnerships with Arcadis and PSS have also been established to enhance environmental, health, safety, and sustainability solutions, as well as port safety and data intelligence.

The company has secured major client wins in late 2024, including TAQA, PX Group, and Forth Ports, demonstrating its growing influence across high-risk industries such as energy, construction, and maritime. The new office provides a modern, collaborative space for COMET’s expanding team and will continue to accommodate on-site client training for incident investigation, leadership, root cause analysis, and risk management programmes.

Mark Rushton, Chief Executive of COMET, said the move marks a significant milestone for the company: “This move represents an exciting step for COMET as we continue to grow and evolve. The new office provides us with the space we need to scale, innovate, and enhance the support we offer to our clients.”

While the company has a growing international footprint, it remains firmly rooted in Aberdeen, reinforcing its commitment to local industry, job creation, and innovation.

“Aberdeen has always been home to COMET, and this move ensures we have the right space to support our growth while continuing to serve our clients at the highest level. We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to welcoming both our team and our clients to the new location,” Rushton added.
