CULTURE

Providing a safe working environment for our employees and clients is a top priority. We strictly adhere to all industry standards and regulations, with rigorous safety procedures and reporting systems controlled within our Safety Management System.

All crew undertake extensive training to at least STCW standards before being employed on our vessels, where they are provided with high quality PPE.

Safety takes priority over cost. Any potential hazards are immediately identified and resolved as a matter of urgency. Risk assessments are reviewed at least annually and/or after any new hazards are identified.

People are the greatest assent in our company. Their loyalty and expertise are essential to delivering a quality service to our clients.

We operate a comprehensive on-going training programme which enhances the skills of our workforce and encourages progression and internal promotion.

Our Equal Opportunities Policy ensures there are no barriers in gender, race or age within the company. We are also proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer and will continue to maintain this standard.

Our expansion into work vessels proved so successful that we approached Scottish boatyards with a view to design and build our first vessel to our specification for the Scottish aquaculture sector. Market requirements and our excellent reputation for customer satisfaction, led to further demand and investment in our fleets.

Our larger vessels are designed to offer the flexibility of undertaking a wider variety of tasks, to enable the client to make the best use of the vessel for a cost effective operation.

Following the success of our workboats, we took a step into the Wellboat market, investing in our first Wellboat in 2024. This has both diversified and expanded our fleet to promote our continual growth.

The RNLI is a very important charity for us, with several of our crew volunteering on their local lifeboats. We also host an annual charity function with donations from suppliers all over the island, which raises substantial funds for the charity.

Inverlussa also sponsor Mull Ruby Club, The Mull & Iona Association, Mull Highland Games and Coisir Og Mhuile (Mull Youth Gaelic Choir).

Being based in an island community, we consider it important to support the local economy within the Highlands and Islands, for both recruitment and supplies. We ensure that all our supplier are paid promptly as we realise the importance of cashflow, especially to small companies.
