Leading business technology provider, Amor Group, has been awarded one of its largest ever information system managed service contracts with global oil and gas logistics firm, ASCO Group.
Under the £15 million contract, Amor Group will ensure ASCO’s IT is a key enabler in its global expansion plans.
Amor will offer a fully out-sourced service for the management of ASCO’s information systems, delivering a robust and flexible service that supports and reduces risk to their global logistics operation.

The five year contract will see Amor Group offering a range of flexible IT support services, including IT infrastructure, business systems and communications support and the management of all third party IT contracts on a 24/7 basis. This will bring in new ways of working, reduce cost and optimise processes and systems.
As a leading provider of business technology solutions, the Amor Group – based in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Coventry and Houston – successfully secured the business after an extensive tendering process among UK and international competitors.
John Innes, Chief Executive Officer of Amor Group, said: “This is one of our largest ever fully-outsourced managed services contracts and we are delighted to be working with one of the world’s leading energy logistics specialists. The contract underlines our oil and gas credentials and cements our position as a leader in IT support operations for critical environments.”
