UK-based technology specialist Optical Metrology Services (OMS) Ltd has announced that it has been awarded the Subsea Global Exports Award 2010, in recognition of the company’s outstanding achievements in export sales to the global oil and gas industry. OMS received the award at the Subsea 2010 Business Awards dinner held at the Aberdeen Exhibition & Conference Centre on 10 February 2010. The fourth annual awards ceremony attracted more than 700 business leaders and entrepreneurs to celebrate the excellence and hard work of subsea organisations and individuals across the UK sector. Guest speakers included the Rt Hon Michael Portillo and energy minister, David Kidney. OMS was one of three companies shortlisted for the Subsea Global Exports Award 2010.

At the awards dinner, Denise Smiles, director of business development at OMS, accepted the award on behalf of the company: “We are delighted to receive such an award, which demonstrates that OMS has been doing something very right over the last year or so.
