Following its £7.25 million Northern Venture Managers-backed management buyout, Abermed will look to diversify. Historically, the company has specialised in providing medical services to operators of North Sea oil and gas facilities. Now, however, managing director James Miller suggests that the business will look to ‘provide complementary services’ within the occupational health sector.

Geographic expansion is also on the agenda with Abermed seeking to add to its operations in Aberdeen, Inverness, Teeside and East Anglia.
