Hundreds of workers at the famous Birkenhead shipyard now, once again walk through the gates of 'Cammell Laird' welcoming back a name at the heart of Merseyside and the history of shipbuilding.
Managing Director John Syvret said:
"The final piece of the jigsaw is now in place. By renaming ourselves Cammell Laird Shiprepairers and Shipbuilders Ltd, we aim to catapult the business forward. Cammell Laird is an internationally recognised brand which carries tremendous goodwill when bidding for contracts. We want to offer our services and support to UK and European shipyards and customers and expand the business. As NSL we have an enviable track record of delivering work of the highest standards of quality and expertise.
We want to use the Cammell Laird name to build on this
reputation and grow an even bigger business out of this shipyard
driving wealth and job creation on Merseyside and in the
North."
Cammell Lairds business specialisation is in the commercial
repair/upgrade, conversion, heavy fabrication/engineering and
military refit marketplace and they offer the full array of
shipyard skills and services, making them a one stop solution for
all marine services.
The shipyard is located within a major marine services "cluster" and has immediate and direct access to specialist support services, classification societies and port state authorities.
Cammell Laird is also actively looking to diversify into other markets including the Civil Nuclear Programme and Offshore Wind. The famous Yard is a key partner in a Liverpool City Region bid to establish a multi-million pound Technology Innovation Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy at Mersey Maritime in Birkenhead, next to Cammell Lairds.
