Sourcing and supplying materials<br />
Pipeline Source and Supply Ltd was<br />
established by Tracy Office, following<br />
the voluntary liquidation of her previous<br />
employer, Offshore Pipeline Solutions<br />
Ltd (OPS).<br />
Faced with redundancy, Miss Office<br />
started her own company, doing exactly<br />
what she had been doing for the last ten<br />
years: sourcing and supplying material<br />
for the global oil, gas, petrochemical,<br />
conversion, energy and shipbuilding<br />
industries. Having been involved in all<br />
aspects of business at OPS, she felt<br />
well placed to take on the challenge of<br />
self employment.<br />
The business has already completed<br />
a number of orders, shipping goods<br />
around the world, and has also<br />
diversified from the supply of materials,<br />
forging a relationship with a fabrication<br />
company in order to widen its scope.<br />
“I have received a great deal of positivity<br />
from clients and suppliers alike since<br />
Tracy Office, founder and MD of Pipeline<br />
Source and Supply<br />
starting this venture, and that has been<br />
a great boost to confidence,” said Miss<br />
Office.<br />
"The challenges I have faced have<br />
been the same as any new company:<br />
establishing a reputation, getting your<br />
name known and, of course, cash flow<br />
and credit accounts.”<br />
Pipeline Source and Supply Ltd has<br />
launched a new website that provides<br />
information on the company’s scope of<br />
supply. Its core business is the supply of<br />
various grades and sizes of steel pipe,<br />
fittings, flanges, bolts and gaskets, from<br />
standard carbon and stainless to the more<br />
exotic alloys. All material is purchased or<br />
manufactured from reputable sources,<br />
with certification to EN10204/3.1 or 3.2<br />
certification where required. Third party<br />
inspections and additional testing can<br />
also be arranged, if necessary.<br />
The company is not limited by holding<br />
stock, so the material range is wide and<br />
varied. Long-standing relationships with<br />
manufacturers and stockists worldwide<br />
mean that Pipeline Source & Supply<br />
can help solve procurement problems,<br />
particularly where items may be difficult<br />
to source or ‘specials’. The company<br />
can supply single items through to full<br />
project packages.<br />
