Gerry Hepburn, CFO, O&P UK says, “The news that the UK Government is supporting our plans to build an ethane import and storage facility at Grangemouth with a loan guarantee is a critical element to ensure the long term future of the site.

It will be very rewarding to see the renewal of the site starting to take shape as we begin construction work.”
