A SCOTTISH firm recognised as a world leader in its field is on the expansion trail after reaching agreement on a £2 million funding package with Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks.
Cyberhawk runs remotely operated aerial vehicle inspection and survey activities from its base in Livingston and offices in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It is also a pioneer in the conversion of drone-captured data into asset information.
Since it was established in 2008, the company has achieved more than two dozen “world firsts” including the first on and offshore inspections for the oil and gas market. It also has years of experience in survey and inspection for the utilities sector, working with key clients such as SSE.
The new funding will enable the company to accelerate growth, create jobs, develop its products and services and expand its global footprint.
Cyberhawk employs about 50 staff, with numbers expected to rise significantly in the coming months.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
