His Majesty The King meets members of the Mintlaw Academy ROV team

In a historic occasion, Global Underwater Hub (GUH) – the leading trade and industry development body for the UK’s underwater sectors – received a visit from HM The King on Friday, 29 September. 

GUH, which represents the diverse range of businesses operating in the UK’s £8 billion underwater industry, provided The King with a tour of its premises in Westhill on the outskirts of Aberdeen, and showcased the vital work being undertaken across the sectors including offshore energy, aquaculture, defence and telecoms. 

Upon his arrival, The King was welcomed by Neil Gordon, chief executive of Global Underwater Hub, and His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant for Aberdeenshire, Mr Sandy Manson, followed by introductions to key industry stakeholders, GUH board members, staff and representatives from member companies, and local school pupils.
