PB Asher joins forces with Burgess Marine

Burgess Marine is well known for all aspects of structural repairs and renewals as well as mechanical repairs both above and below the waterline. The firm provides comprehensive marine repair services, from welding, electrical, engine overhauls, structural fabrication and mechanical to dive support, dock evaluation reports, vessel surveys and warehousing. Its repair service is complemented by steel fabrication, pipe and mechanical facilities, dry and wet docks and ship lifts.

Burgess has recently acquired Testbank Ship Repair, with locations at Southampton docks, Portsmouth and Bristol. This has created the largest independent ship repairer in the UK by both geographical location and the fact that they are not tied to any one particular yard or facility.

Burgess Marine is an ISO 9001:2008 British Standards Institute accredited company and holds DNV Approved Supplier status. The company is also a full member of the Association of Diving Contractors.

PB Asher MD Ben Cross said: “We couldn’t be happier joining forces with Burgess Marine. It’s a logical move and will enable both companies to offer an improved service solution to existing and prospective customers. Burgess Marine has similar ambitions to our growing company and this strategic partnership makes complete sense, our customers are looking out for cost effective service options and this is certainly one of them.”
