Aberdeen-based Prism Energy is celebrating significant business growth over the past year, with the company’s turnover doubling in 2024 and its workforce expanding by the same margin.
This marks the latest milestone in an impressive trend, as Prism’s turnover has consistently doubled annually over the past five years.
The project risk management consultancy has also launched two new business divisions. Prism QHSE was established last year following the acquisition of Mandos Software in 2023. Recognising the critical role of quality management in successful project delivery, Prism’s managing director, Andy Sutherland saw the value in integrating process mapping software into the company’s digital offerings.
The QHSE division now serves 20 clients and is strengthened by the appointment of QHSE Lead, Carla Bruce, who offers consultancy services to clients.
In response to high demand from energy industry operators seeking personnel recommendations, Prism Energy also launched Prism Connect in 2024, which is led by Recruitment Manager, Darren Aggasild.

The recruitment division specialises in sourcing and placing top-tier project management and QHSE professionals to meet client needs. Beyond the energy sector, Prism has successfully placed candidates in the construction and chemical manufacturing industries since launching the recruitment division.
Reflecting on the business’s success, Andy commented: “We offer a unique combination of specialist consultancy services and software products, and so far, the business has grown primarily through word-of-mouth referrals.
“There are many highlights from 2024 that the team can be proud of, including the diversification of our services, which has led to nine people being placed in roles within the chemicals industry in Leeds. I look forward to seeing what 2025 holds as we embark on areas such as shutdown delivery management, offshore construction, and engineering services.”
Prism Energy now has a headcount of 52 staff and contractors. Alongside the introduction of the QHSE Lead and Recruitment Manager positions, the company has also appointed a Marketing Manager, Software Manager, and Operations Coordinator, while establishing a graduate position for a Junior Project Controls Consultant.
The rate of growth prompted the team to relocate to a larger office last spring, and it is expected that there will be a requirement for further recruitment in 2025.
