Bristol’s international profile as a global hub for high tech engineering and environmental technology services has been further reinforced with the news that LICenergy UK Ltd, a subsidiary of LICengineering A/S, a leading Danish offshore and marine engineering company, is opening a new UK base at serviced offices in Bristol.

LICenergy UK is moving into serviced offices within the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone and plans to recruit up to 20 engineers, draughtsman and administrative staff over the next two years.

The company has worked on oil and gas, renewables, marine and civil engineering projects for the last 25 years and specialises in the design, analyses and site supervision of pipelines, subsea components and offshore structures including jackets and advanced foundation design for wind turbines.

MD of LICenergy UK Ltd, Morten Tobias Lind said: “After extensive research, LIC felt that Bristol offered the greatest potential for our expansion both as a geographically strategic base but also backed up with the high academic standard of engineers qualifying from the University. Throughout our research to establish a UK base the support we have received from Invest in Bristol has been faultless. The team have been a key element in our final decision to settle here. The vibrancy of the city matches well with our Danish roots and we look forward to becoming a part of this expanding and exciting business community.”  

Bristol City Council Leader Barbara Janke said: "This is very welcome news and further proof of the city's strengths as a centre for high tech engineering and the environmental industries. This follows Vestas opening in the city last year, and I hope further investment to follow by other companies. It reinforces our strong case why Bristol should be the home for the planned Green Investment Bank."
