AOC Named Finalist in OEUK Awards for People and Culture - Second Year in a Row


2nd September 2025

We are delighted to announce that we have been selected as a finalist in the People and Culture category of the Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) Awards 2025 – marking the second consecutive year our efforts in this area have been recognised.

At AOC, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This recognition is a testament to the dedication, talent, and passion of every individual across our organisation. We firmly believe that it is our people – the right people – who create the strong, supportive, and collaborative culture we are so proud of today. Without them, none of our achievements, successes, or the vibrant culture we’ve built could be possible.

Being shortlisted in the People and Culture category highlights the importance we place on wellbeing, inclusion, and engagement. Over the past year, we have continued to invest in creating an environment where our teams feel supported, empowered, and genuinely part of the AOC family. From modernising offshore facilities and improving cabins, gyms, and communal areas on the Anasuria FPSO, to aligning work schedules to improve work-life balance, we have sought to make every day better for those who dedicate their skills and energy to our operations.

Our Empowered to Improve employee survey is one of the ways we ensure everyone has a voice. Acting on feedback is central to how we operate – it ensures that improvements reflect the real needs of our people and reinforces a culture of openness, trust, and continuous development.

Richard Beattie, CEO of AOC, said:
“I’m absolutely delighted that Anasuria Operating Company has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 OEUK Awards in the category of People and Culture! Everything we have done over the last six years has been focused on empowering and investing in our people, and we have seen extraordinary improvements in our business. I’m genuinely proud to lead a team where people care about each other and the company. Well done to all the finalists – I am looking forward to celebrating our brilliant industry, companies, and people on November 20th.”

The OEUK Awards celebrate outstanding achievements across the UK energy sector, and the winners will be announced later this year. For AOC, being shortlisted again is not just about recognition – it is a reminder of the incredible people who make our company what it is, and the culture we continue to nurture together.
