SKILLED Group launches ATIVO

Friday, August 01, 2008

Over the past 12 months, our maintenance and project services businesses – SKILLED Services, Waycon Services and Pacific Relines – have performed strongly, driven by solid growth in the market for contract maintenance services and in particular, maintenance works related to the mining and resources industry.

In order to fully support these businesses and to capture an increased share of this market for SKILLED Group, we’ve made the decision to refocus and re-brand these businesses with a new brand and a new identity distinct from SKILLED.

I am very pleased to announce that the new business brand will be known as – ATIVO Maintenance and Project Services.

Michael Olsen has been appointed Executive General Manager for ATIVO. He leads a team of over 100 management and project industry specialists, operating from 12 locations around Australia and headquartered in Botany, Sydney.

This is a very exciting time for ATIVO and those businesses involved in the transition. We wish Michael and his team well as they begin a new chapter in the history of SKILLED Group.
