Shetland firm to expand Sumburgh base amidst increasing demand

What's the deal? Ness Engineering, a Shetland-based services firm, is building a new facility at its Sumburgh site to meet rising demand. The company secured up to £172,234 from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) for the capital expansion plus £18,580 for new productivity software — roughly £191,000 in total public funding.

The firm provides electrical, mechanical, and general engineering services alongside site infrastructure like welfare units, temporary lighting, and on-site power generation across the Highlands and Islands.

Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Virkie, Shetland, Ness Engineering has been growing steadily as energy and infrastructure activity in Scotland's northern islands intensifies.
