Leask Marine en route from Dundee to Orkney. ORKNEY-based Leask Marine is aiming to almost double its turnover and workforce after securing a £5.3 million funding package. The firm received a funding package from Royal Bank of Scotland and Lombard consisting of asset-backed lending, term loan and a working capital facility from its financial partners to acquire essential equipment to undertake several new contracts. Leask Marine said it is now aiming to almost double its turnover and workforce this season to assist in completing the number of new contracts. Most recently, the new equipment – which principally included a brand-new Damen Multicat workboat called C-FORCE – towed the world’s most powerful tidal turbine from Dundee to Orkney, further enhancing Orkney’s position as a leader in marine wave renewable technology.
