Company Demonstrates Continued Investment in Tomorrow’s Workforce

HOUSTON--()--Aggreko, the global leader in temporary power generation, temperature control and oil-free compressed air solutions, has announced the winners of the 2014 Phil Harrower and Aggreko Merit Scholarships. For the past fourteen years, the company has granted scholarships to students of its employees who are preparing to enter their first year of college. The scholarships are awarded to encourage and support higher education for the future leaders of tomorrow. One student is selected to receive the Phil Harrower Scholarship and four receive the Aggreko Merit Scholarship.

“Empowering the next generation of the workforce is an investment Aggreko is committed to making to ensure that our employees and their families stay on the path to success,” said Bruce Pool, Managing Director, Aggreko North America. “Each of these students has exhibited hard work and dedication to their education and we are pleased to be able to support them in their goals.”

In order to qualify, applicants had to: demonstrate their merit by submitting an essay describing their career ambitions and reasons for seeking a scholarship; earn a 3.0 grade point average or higher; and show proof of acceptance into an accredited college, university or technical school. Judges also evaluated candidates based on several other criteria including SAT/ACT scores, academic awards and extra-curricular activities.

Each year, the Phil Harrower Scholarship Program, named in honor of the late CEO of Aggreko, awards one recipient with a $1,500 scholarship per academic year. Aggreko Merit Scholarship recipients receive $1,000 per academic year.

Aggreko provides power and temperature control solutions to customers who need them either very quickly, or for a short or indeterminate length of time. Examples would be the supply of power to an industrial site which needs to service its permanent power supply, supplying a whole city in times of power shortage, or providing a major sporting event with power and cooling systems. We serve our customers either through our 202 service centres, which we call the Local business, or globally through our Power Projects business.

In the Local business, which accounts for about half of our revenues, we hire our equipment to customers, who then operate it for themselves, although we retain responsibility for servicing and maintaining it. In the Power Projects business, which also accounts for about half of our revenues, we operate as a power producer. We install and operate power plants and we charge our customers both for providing the generating capacity, and for the electricity we produce. We design and manufacture equipment specifically for these requirements in our factory in Dumbarton, Scotland.

Recent customers include the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Ryder Cup and Cirque du Soleil and the power utilities in over 50 countries including the UK, France, Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and the USA.

In 2013 we fulfilled almost 48,000 customers’ assignments and 72% of those who responded to our research gave us a recommendation of 9 or 10 out of 10.
