Aberdeenshire engineering specialist Brimmond is celebrating 30 years in business after delivering the strongest financial performance in its history, while continuing to expand its international presence despite a challenging year across several key industries.
Headquartered in Kintore, Aberdeenshire, Brimmond specialises in the design, manufacture, rental and repair of lifting, mechanical and hydraulic equipment. Over the past three decades, Brimmond has grown from a small hydraulic hose repair business to a global supplier serving customers across energy, marine, aquaculture, defence and renewable sectors.
The company reported £11.5 million in revenue for the financial year ending March 2025, the highest in its history.
However, after more than five consecutive years of growth, Brimmond expects revenue to moderate to around £9.5 million for the current financial year, reflecting difficult market conditions across several of the sectors it serves.
Industry activity has been affected by the continued impact of the UK’s Energy Profits Levy on oil and gas investment, alongside delays to offshore wind developments and a slower year across aquaculture markets.
Despite these headwinds, the company says it remains in a strong position and continues to invest in its people, engineering capability and specialist rental fleet.
Tom Murdoch, Managing Director, said, “Reaching our 30th year in business is a proud milestone for everyone at Brimmond. What the company has achieved over the past three decades is remarkable.
Over that time, we have come through multiple oil price cycles, financial crises and even a global pandemic. The reason we are still here and continuing to grow is simple. We have a highly skilled and dedicated team, we focus on quality and we work hard to make sure we deliver for our customers every time.”
The company continues to strengthen its international footprint, with 37% of its revenue generated outside the UK. In 2025 the company expanded into the Middle East with the launch of a new base in UAE, which has already secured rental agreements for around 50% of its deployed fleet within months of launch, highlighting strong demand for its equipment and services.
Brimmond currently employs 49 people and expects its workforce to grow to more than 55 employees in the next six months, which recruitment underway for new roles including mechanical engineering apprenticeships.
Tom further commented, “This year is looking to be an exciting year, we look forward to the next stage of Brimmond’s journey by continuing to invest in our people, our equipment and new markets.”
