In 2001 they purchased the assets of Cammell Laird Ltd that had businesses in Birkenhead, Teesside and Tyneside.
One of the Tyneside businesses was the Hebburn shiprepair yard which had a history as a shipbuilding yard stretching back to McIntyre & Co who laid out the new shipyard at Hebburn Quay in 1884.
This yard then passed to Robert Stephenson & Co in 1888, Palmers' Shipbuilding & Iron Co in 1912, Vickers-Armstrongs in 1936, Swan Hunter Group Ltd in 1965, Tyne Tees Dry Docks Ltd in 1994 and finally Cammell Laird Ltd in 1998.
