A Whitehaven-based company provide support in the operational, maintenance and engineering sector is marking 10 years in business.
Cumbria O&M Services (COMS) was set up in 2014 by Cliff Woodman and Dave Garratt and now employs over 80 staff.
Specialising in maintenance and asset care services in the nuclear and regulated industry sectors, the completion of the Site Security Enhancements Programme (SSEP) with Atkins Ltd and Sellafield Ltd in December 2014 was an early success for the company.
More recently a collaboration with Forth Engineering, React Engineering, and CORE Nuclear Solutions saw the formation of a joint venture known as Resolve Engineered Solutions.
As well as growing as a business the company has also made substantial contributions to the West Cumbrian community with local charities benefiting from donations worth around £40,000.
In celebration of 10 years in business, COMS has raised over £10,000 for the Great North Air Ambulance Service and has now become one of the charity’s corporate partners.
Natasha Banks, specialist fundraiser at GNAAS, said: “We are thrilled to receive a donation for more than £10,000 from COMS and have them as one of our corporate partners.
“As a charity, we do not receive any government funding and have to raise approximately £8.5m to remain operational, so we are very grateful for their support. This generous donation will help our doctors, pilots and paramedics continue to help critically ill or injured people across the region.”
