THE future of Aberdeen as a world centre for the energy industry was given a huge boost yesterday with the announcement that Shell UK is to build a £25m centre as a global hub.
BP is already building a £45m headquarters in the city and the Shell announcement helps destroy any myth that the industry in Aberdeen is in decline.
Campus Tullos will sit next to its current headquarters which incorporates five phases of development that started in 1973. Shell’s first office in the city was in an upper floor of a building in Union Street in 1964.
