Risk management software experts move to new headquarters

COMET, the Aberdeen-based provider of risk management and incident investigation software, is relocating to new headquarters as part of its ongoing expansion.

From tomorrow, COMET’s new office will be located at City Wharf, Shiprow, Aberdeen.

The relocation reflects COMET’s strong business performance over the past year, which has seen the company expand its leadership team, secure major new contracts, and strengthen its partnerships across high-risk industries such as energy, construction, and maritime.

Mark Rushton, chief executive of COMET, said: "This move represents an exciting step for COMET as we continue to grow and evolve. The new office provides us with the space we need to scale, innovate, and enhance the support we offer to our clients."

The move follows a period of sustained growth and strategic investment for COMET. Recent developments include:

• Expansion of its leadership team, with Paul Hastings appointed as head of Sales to drive global business development.
• Dr. Douglas Leith’s transition to chief intelligence officer (CIO), reinforcing COMET’s focus on data-driven risk intelligence.
• New strategic partnerships, including a collaboration with Arcadis to enhance environmental, health, safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) solutions, and a partnership with PSS to drive safety and data intelligence in ports.
• Significant client wins in Q4 2024, welcoming major organisations such as: TAQA, PX Group, Enfinium, NEO Energy, Diamond Drilling, Noble Drilling, Forth Ports, and Johnson Controls.

Previously operating as STC INSISO, COMET rebranded last year.

While the company has a growing international footprint, it remains firmly rooted in Aberdeen, reinforcing its commitment to local industry, job creation, and innovation.

Rushton added: “Aberdeen has always been home to COMET, and this move ensures we have the right space to support our growth while continuing to serve our clients at the highest level.

“We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to welcoming both our team and our clients to the new location.”
