Onne, Nigeria

The establishment of Onne as a Free Port Zone provides Nigeria with an unrivalled position as the focal point for the oil and gas industry in West Africa. The Free Port Zone was conceived in the knowledge that major oil and gas production companies were interested in making Nigeria a regional centre for their operations in the West and Central Africa Sub-region. Accordingly, the Zone provides valuable incentives to investors, including easy registration to enter the Nigerian Oil and Gas market, minimum bureaucracy, and the possibility to sell products and services throughout the West African region. The Zone, which is positioned at the centre of Nigeria’s oil activities, offers excellent business opportunities to investors wishing to participate in both planned and existing projects.

P.D. Gram & Co. AS is a Norwegian privately owned company, whose main business is arranging and managing shipping and real estate investments. The firm was founded in 1982 by Peter D. Gram as a partnership and was transformed to a limited company (AS) in 1995. Since 1982, P.D. Gram & Co. AS and its owner has been involved in syndication of more than 35 vessels with an investment value of over USD 400 mill. Most of these investments have, until they have been sold, been managed commercially by P.D. Gram & Co. AS. The firm started its business by specializing in managing and arranging investments of car carriers, where the vessels were timechartered to the major operators. Subsequently, in the mid eighties, the firm expanded into the tanker sector. The car carrier market remains the primary area of interest, while on the tanker side focus is on specialized vessels like LPG tankers. In 1987 the firm started a real estate section, arranging and managing mainly office properties in Oslo. Real estate investments have subsequently been developed in the rapidly growing Polish market, where a separate organization has been established with partners. The investments in vessels are held by different investor groups organized by P.D. Gram & Co. AS in different jurisdictions. The management activities are primarily carried out from the main office located at Aker Brygge in the centre of Oslo. A sister company with the name of Gram Agencies (UK) Ltd. was formed in 1995 simultaneously with Mr. Gram taking up residence in London. This is a representative office to better maintain international financing and investment contacts.

London, United Kingdom

Reed began on the 7th May 1960 when Alec Reed, then aged 26, opened the first Reed branch in Hounslow, West London. He started with just £75 and worked alone for a year. Perhaps Reed's greatest achievement is that from these modest beginnings the company has grown organically, and not by acquisition, into a business with over 2000 Co-Members (staff) and 280 branches that generated sales of £373 million last year. Reed has grown by giving clients what they want - the right people - and has won a growing number of clients by continually innovating and improving the service it has to offer. Reed is committed to delivering The Intelligent Response, and this has been a consistent theme since the company began. Thanks to Alec Reed's entrepreneurial flair the company quickly emerged from the pack, not least because it approached the market in new and original ways. Reed was the first recruitment company to offer specialist recruitment services. This began with the creation of Reed Executive, Reed Accountancy and Reed Nursing Personnel in the early 1960s. At least another dozen specialist niches have been developed since. Reed's move into specialisation fundamentally changed the UK recruitment market. In the 1960s Reed expanded rapidly and with its strategy to secure prominent, prime site locations to attract the best candidates for its clients, it developed a distinctive brand on the High Street. This early combination of presence, innovation and specialisation made the brand instantly recognisable to a wide public. Following its first decade of success, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1971. The Company was once again taken private and delisted from the London Stock Exchange in 2003. To this day the founder's entrepreneurial spirit is fundamental to the company's culture and to its approach to the market. James Reed, Chief Executive and son of Alec, has announced Reed is pursuing a Venture Peoplist business model, which means that it will be investing in, and pursuing new business opportunities that centre on people and people resourcing. Reed prides itself on being an organisation that continues to innovate and specialise and that will rise to meet any challenge, however great.
