Score Apprentice Takes Home Prestigious National Title

The success of Scotland’s top Engineering Apprentices was celebrated at an award ceremony held in Peterhead on Thursday 4th October, as the winners of the 2018 Scottish Engineering Craft Competition were presented with their awards.

The competition, sponsored by Score Group plc, has been running for over 30 years and is recognised in the industry as the toughest competition of its kind for first year Engineering apprentices. Held annually, this year’s competition took place at NESCOL (North East Scotland College), Fraserburgh, in June 2018 when 12 mechanical and 4 electrical apprentices from 9 training centres and colleges battled it out to win one of two prestigious titles.

Open to every EAL (Excellence, Achievement & Learning Limited), the awarding organisation for the engineering, manufacturing and building sectors approved training centre in the country, this year’s competition saw both Mechanical and Electrical engineering apprentices travelling from as

far as North Highland College, Thurso in the North to Border Engineering Training Association, Melrose in the South. Sponsor Score Group plc was delighted to see Score VAC Limited employee, Ben – entered by his training centre – Peterhead Engineers Development Limited (PEDL), winning first place in the Mechanical Engineering category, closely followed by another PEDL trainee, employed by Peterhead firm Bill Mackie Engineering. This year also saw North Highland College and Tullos Training taking home first and second places in the Electrical Engineering Category.

Simon Turner, Operations Director of Score VAC Limited is very proud of their award winning apprentice: “Since joining Score VAC Limited, Ben has proven to be particularly competent and has shown a flair for mechanical fitting. The skills he developed at PEDL provided the perfect platform to develop the instrument fitting techniques that he applies daily in his role at our workshop. His attention to detail is of a very high standard which is reflected not only in his workshop-based role but also during time he has spent in a client-facing role,

gaining experience within our sales office. We are very proud of Ben’s achievements to date and look forward to supporting him moving forward.”

The winners’ achievements are testament to the skills they have learned throughout their completion of the PEO (Performing Engineering Operations) Level 2 qualification and how well they applied these skills and technical knowledge during the completion of a series of gruelling practical and written tests. Each participant specialised in two chosen disciplines; vertical or CNC milling, centre lathe turning, bench fitting, electrical wiring or electronics.

Speaking at the awards, Leighton Willox, Director of Score (Europe) Limited, highlighted the fact that as a national competition, the skill level of each entrant is incredibly high. He said: “It was once again a pleasure for Score Group plc to be involved with the sponsorship and organisation of this great competition which year after year sees the best engineering apprentices in Scotland competing for the titles. Those presented with awards can be very proud of their achievements, they are already well on the way to highly successful careers in engineering.”

Score Group plc look forward to the continued success of the competition, with plans already underway to arrange next year’s event. Organisers are seeking a host and entry forms will be made available to all eligible training centres in Spring 2019, with a view to the competition running, once again, in June. 2

From the 27th-30th August Score attended the bi-annual Offshore Northern Seas(ONS) exhibition in Stavanger, Norway. Representatives from Score A/S, assisted by Score Diagnostics and Score Group directors, met a wide range of guests. Existing and potential new customers and suppliers were invited to see our latest technology and innovations supporting our Intelligent Valve Management approach, as well as discussing ongoing and new business opportunities. Score was represented in the harbour of Stavanger with M.Y Daydream, the same vessel as we had 2 years ago. Score A/S and Score Group plc logo banners and beach flags were hung from the boat, giving best possible corporate advertising in the heart of the busy harbour area. MIDAS Meter® Images and MIDAS® Valve Diagnostics logos were also displayed on company vehicles.

• MIDAS Meter® Demo Panel – 5 Valve Manifold

• MIDAS Meter® Risk-Based Inspection Software (RBI) for guiding valve owners on valve survey periods / frequencies, based on risk was presented highlighting the shift away from calendar based maintenance and towards value based maintenance.

• Design simple, easy construction, low cost – previous event (2016) shelving was re-used.

• Practical demonstrations all very effective at getting the message over on features and benefits.

• Product displays were very well received and some genuine interest was recorded.

All enquiries and general interest is already being followed up locally by Score A/S personnel and by Score Diagnostic Limited.

Score A/S Attend Offshore Northern Seas (ONS)

During ONS several Score Group directors addressed a group of Score A/S trainees. The directors, including, Ian Cheyne, Ian Davidson, Dave Anderson, Conrad Ritchie, Ronnie Simpson and Scott Will, spoke of their own personal journey and how they have reached where they are today. Through their own experiences the directors encouraged trainees to put in maximum effort to everything they do, and be inquisitive. Trainees were told to be safe, and appreciate and respect the company values. There was also strong emphasis on understanding

their position in society; focusing on the future, aiming to be the leaders of tomorrow and making their goals reality. Trainees were left with the inspiration to understand that they were all winners and ‘special beasties’.

High ‘Scores’ Again at NESCOL GraduationsSaturday (6th October) saw the 2018 North East Scotland College (Fraserburgh Campus) Graduation ceremony take place. Once again, Score Group plc was delighted to be part of the proceedings to not only congratulate its own graduates but also to share in the success of the future generation.

This year saw 33 of our apprentices graduate with Higher National Certificates (HNC) in Engineering Practice, Mechanical Engineering or Measurement and Control. A further four apprentices, two of which are now time-served, received Higher National Diplomas (HND) in Mechanical Engineering. Many of these two groups are now pursuing further education to HND and degree level.

Score is elated to see these young men and women achieve another milestone in their career paths and we look forward to see them progress for many years to come within the organisation. The company’s apprenticeship programme, both in Peterhead and at our global locations, is a steadfast component and will remain as such in the future.

As with previous years, Score Group sponsored a number of awards to college graduates who have shown exceptional

aptitude, commitment or determination during their studies and this year these awards were presented by Mr Bill Urquhart, Managing Director of Score Subsea and Wellhead Limited.

Following the presentation to graduates, Mr John Wallace, a prominent figure in Fraserburgh, Peterhead and beyond was presented by the college with an honorary fellowship award. After graciously accepting, he gave an inspiring talk to all in the atrium arena on how he worked first through adversity, later becoming an entrepreneur and ultimately playing key roles in the success and development of both Fraserburgh and Peterhead ports. His key message was to be all you can be, turn negatives into positives, and work hard to achieve your goals and dreams for the future.

Ms Liz McIntyre, Principal of NESCOL gave a final vote of thanks and congratulations to the graduates, and of course Mr Wallace before closing the ceremony.

We would like to once again congratulate all graduates on the awards they received and trust that they then went on to celebrate their achievements with family and friends.

Busy Quarter for Score A/S

After completing a very successful ONS-2018, our local apprentices were invited for a fjord-cruise and lunch on board the M.Y. Daydream on Thursday 30th August. On a perfect day for a fjord cruise the apprentices were given product introductions and demonstrations and had the opportunity to learn about our latest technology products and services, followed by a couple of hours well-deserved break enjoying the breath-taking scenery of the Norwegian fjords. The fjord-cruise was rounded off with a lunch for all our apprentices together with the Score Group directors. This apprentice appreciation day was a great conclusion to a very successful ONS-2018 week, during which we were able to catch up with many clients and old friends whilst also making some potentially important contacts, either informally or formally at our organised presentations and meetings. Score A/S would like to thank everyone for their contribution in making Offshore Northern Seas 2018 a very successful event for Score.

The apprentices really enjoyed the day; Mailinn and Ida

15 Years of The GLEN – A State of the Art Piece of Jet Engine History

In 2003, Score Energy Limited opened the Ground Level Engine (The GLEN) test facility, supporting the world’s most innovative dual fuel gas turbine test requirements for operators of legacy gas turbines, including Rolls-Royce Avon and Siemens TB5000/TB5400. Across the past fifteen years, through substantial financial investment, the facility has improved and developed its capabilities, and now has the ability to carry out more than 120 full performance and endurance tests each year.

The test stand used at the GLEN test facility has a long history of testing gas turbines, and for the majority of its lifespan was used to test jet engines for military and civil applications at the National Gas Turbine Establishment, Pyestock.

Power Jets Ltd was formed in 1936 by the founder of the modern day jet engine, Sir Frank Whittle, along with two of his colleagues. This then merged with the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Turbine Division in 1944 to form Power Jets (Research and Development) Ltd, before becoming the National Gas Turbine Establishment in 1946.

Pyestock was the leading establishment for design, development and testing of gas turbines and jet engines for over 50 years, being one of the largest of its kind in Europe, if not the world. During its lifetime V bomber, Harrier and Tornado engines were tested and developed at this facility. In addition it is rumoured that captured Soviet engines were apparently inspected and tested on the site in secrecy.

Score’s GLEN test facility was one of many test cells within the National Gas Turbine Establishment, known as the Glen Test House (Ground Level Engine Test House). The test facility was designed to test gas turbines under sea-level conditions. The test bed originally tested engines of up to

28,000 lbf of thrust; however the facility was later upgraded with shear force load cells allowing the measuring of thrusts of up to 44,000 lbf. Inlet air was supplied to the test cell through intake acoustic splitters which had been devised to endure 1000 lb/sec.

The test bed, along with the altitude test chamber known as Cell 3, was purchased by Score from QinetiQ in 2002, a company which had been formed from the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA).

In early summer of 2002 Score sent a team, led by Ian M Cheyne, down to Farnborough. The team worked on site for 8 weeks decommissioning both of the test facilities. The dismantled test beds were then moved almost 600 miles up to Peterhead by road transport. In autumn 2002, the ground work for installing the GLEN test facility in Peterhead began. The cement chamber of the facility was built first, and then a metal clad building was built around it expanding to almost 11,500m². This was later named the Ian M Cheyne building on 10th June 2009.

On 12th August 2003, the newly assembled GLEN test facility tested its first turbine under the Score Energy banner. The first test was conducted using Score’s calibration Avon engine, named Iona by the late Charles Buchan Ritchie, Score Group plc Chairman. The calibration engine was tested running on liquid fuel, and had previously been tested on three independent test beds prior to being tested on the GLEN test facility. The results from all four test beds were analysed and used to certify the performance capabilities of the new facility.

Over the past 15 years, Score’s GLEN test facility has met numerous significant milestones. Developing plug and play test stands for various engines has allowed

easy fitment to the test bed, saving time when changing between engine types. This has led to the GLEN testing a range of engines including Rolls Royce Olympus, Siemens TB5000, Siemens Tornado and Rolls Royce RB211. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) testing capabilities have been installed and commissioned. Score has also used the facility on behalf of an operator, for revolutionary prototype testing of Steam Injection for the Avon Gas Turbine to reduce NOx and CO emissions, whilst seeking to improve power and efficiency, and lowering operating costs and fuel consumption.

More recently in 2016, the GLEN test facility went back to its roots, and was used to functionally test a fuel delivery system for the Ministry of Defence to aid in investigation of perceived performance issues in the marine applications. 2017 saw a major refurbishment of the control room facilities introducing an improved HMI (Human Machine Interface) experience for both the operator and the customer. This year, in 2018, the latest improvements saw the refurbishments of the LNG facility for improved gas delivery for the gas turbine under test.

The original design of the facility allowed it to be easily modifiable and accommodating for past and future developments. The test bed remains technologically advanced today and has the ability to support future engine types.

The gas turbine market is extremely competitive, however the facilities owned and developed by Score Energy including this state of the art test facility, ensures the business can continue providing world leading services for Operators, OEM’s and other service centres well into the future.

Score Group Appoint Non-Executive Chairman

We would like to welcome Keith Cochrane to Score Group plc. Keith has taken up the position of Non-Executive Chairman with effect from October 1st 2018. This appointment will be welcomed by our various stakeholders and we trust you will also welcome Keith and support him in his new role. Keith is highly regarded in our industry and we look forward to having his input and guidance.

On the 11th of November 2018, the nation fell silent to remember and honour those who had sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom. This year, it is particularly significant when on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month one hundred years ago, the guns fell silent marking the end of World War 1. To mark this milestone, Score Group plc has manufactured and gifted these Tommy soldier silhouettes to its home town of Peterhead, Scotland which are now in place at the town’s War Memorial on South Road. This small token pays tribute to those in our nation, many of whom were from the local area who fought or lost their lives through World War I, World War II and more recent conflicts.

Conrad Ritchie from Score Group commented, “We were honoured to come on board and assist with this project. It is vital that we remember and appreciate the sacrifice made by so many service men and woman to secure the freedom we enjoy within the United Kingdom today. These soldiers will stand the test of time and help educate and remind future generations of the human sacrifice made to secure their futures.”

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Restart a Heart Day 2018

The chances of surviving an “Out of Hospital” cardiac arrest in the UK are less than one in ten, but in countries which teach CPR as part of the national curriculum, like Norway, this rises to more than four in ten. That is the statistic which motivated the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, along with the British Heart Foundation, to designate one day a year to teach as many youngsters as possible the basic skills required to potentially save a life.

This is the fifth year of the initiative which has now become an international event. October 16th saw the 100,000th student receive the training in Yorkshire, with over half a million in the UK. The training is carried out by volunteers from the emergency services and the voluntary sector. Amongst them is Qualtec Control’s Russell Blinman, a volunteer event first aider with St John Ambulance, who

From the left. Russell Blinman, Dave Manning of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and Student Paramedic Ashley Baxter

took a day’s annual leave to teach over 250 Year 8 students at Ryburn Valley High School.

Russell, who himself suffered a heart attack while at work in 2016, has first-hand knowledge of how vital this skill can be. At Huddersfield Town’s football stadium where he regularly volunteers as part of the stadium medical team, four lives were saved during the last season due to trained volunteers being ready to respond within minutes to provide lifesaving CPR and defibrillation.

Score Group Supports Employee Mental Health

Mental health is just like physical health: everybody has it and we need to take care of it

As a company, Score Group is helping break the stigma of Mental Health.

In order to help and support our employees we recently had two of our personnel qualify as Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA). After completing their course, our MHFAs have an understanding of mental health and what influences can affect well-being. They have gained skills that allow them to notice triggers and signs of mental health, and have the confidence to support those in distress.

Our Mental Health First Aiders are there for anyone who would benefit from non-judgemental listening, and all information will be received in the strictest confidence. They can help recovery by offering guidance to further support – including through self-help resources and the NHS.

It is possible to recover from a mental health problem and live a productive and fulfilling life. It is important to remember that if you have a mental health problem, it is not a sign of weakness.

PeterDeen Project Aims to Help Youngsters Reach Education Goals

The power of football is being used as part of a new north-east project aimed at helping youngsters reach their education goals.

Score Group plc has joined forces with Aberdeen and Peterhead Football Clubs and Aberdeenshire Council for the PeterDeen programme.

The scheme is aimed at S3 pupils from Peterhead Academy who find it tough getting to grips with the traditional school curriculum.

PeterDeen will take them out of the classroom to take part in football coaching sessions, meeting volunteer groups and taking vocational qualifications while completing vital subjects like English and Maths in school.

18 pupils had already signed up to the two year pilot project at the launch, after being selected by Peterhead Academy following discussions with their families and an assessment process.

Score Group, Aberdeen FC Community Trust, and Peterhead Football Club are all involved in the new venture.

Conrad Ritchie, Director of Score Group plc, believes the results of this project will benefit all involved.

He said: “This is a new venture, a venture that has been created to address the needs of students that have difficultly conforming to mainstream schooling.

“Each individual has different lightbulb moments in life and it is hoped that PeterDeen will illuminate these lights and create individuals that can flourish.

“Attitude will always come before ability, yet ability will shine with the correct attitude, direction and personal commitment,

“We are excited to be involved in such a ground breaking project and are confident that the results will be beneficial for all.”
