Aberdeen July 2018 - Aberdeen-based consultancy in behavioral change, DEKRA Organizational Reliability, has reported a strong year of growth thanks to a string of significant contract wins, worth in excess of £3million.

New business this year includes:
- 12-month contract worth $1million AUSD, to provide training and coaching to mjor oil & gas operator in Austrlia
- Three year partnership with Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS), Serbia's largest energy company, to implement a new Health and Safety strategy based on cultural change

As a result, DEKRA has bolstered its Aberdeen team by 20% and turnover by 25%.
Derek Smith, managing director at DEKRA Organizational Reliability, said: “The past year has been exceptional for our growth. Being part of the DEKRA family has allowed us to enhance our processes and expand our service solutions, whilst retaining Optimus’ reputation for providing outstanding customer service - something which truly sets us apart from our competitors.
“We have a very strong track record in the oil and gas sector and this experience has transitioned well into our new target markets and regions, where we see great potential. We are highly positive about what 2018/19 will offer and we look forward to a busy time with clients old and new.”
