Subsea company donates £1500 to Wick lifeboat
An Aberdeen-based subsea excavation company has handed over £1500 to Wick lifeboat station.
The donation came from Rotech Subsea, whose subsea project team leader Colin Smith volunteers for the RNLI in Wick in his spare time.
Established in 1848, Wick lifeboat station operates the Trent-class lifeboat Roy Barker II.
Martin Graham, operations director at Rotech Subsea, presented his colleague Colin with the cheque at the company’s Aberdeen headquarters.
Martin said: “Rotech Subsea and its staff have been pleased to support the RNLI financially and through volunteering for many years and we are delighted to make this donation to the Wick lifeboat station.
“In these difficult and uncertain times, when many of the charity’s regular fundraising streams have been affected, it is more important than ever to offer our support.
"As a company that regularly has teams engaged in offshore ship-based projects around the UK, we are well aware of – and hugely grateful for – the work of the volunteer RNLI lifeboat crews.”
