Scotoil Services to receive Grampian Police Diced Cap Charitable Trust fellowship for “outstanding support”
Scotoil Services, the Aberdeen-based oil industry environmental services company, is to be presented with a Diced Cap Fellowship at the charitable trust’s Good Samaritan Awards 2008 on Thursday (February 21). The award ceremony starts at 7pm in the Marriott Hotel, Dyce, Aberdeen.
The Diced Cap Fellowship award will be presented to Graham and Ross Davidson, sons of the late Ian Davidson, former managing director of Scotoil. The presentation will take place on the eve of the fifth anniversary of his death.
Commenting on the award, Gordon McLellan, Managing Director of Scotoil Services Ltd, said:
“Since Ian Davidson brought Scotoil into local ownership in 1995, the company has always recognised its corporate social responsibility by providing support for community initiatives.
“One of the charities the company has supported through the years is the Diced Cap Charitable Trust. Indeed, Ian Davidson provided the inspiration and encouragement for a number of its projects.
“To receive the Diced Cap Fellowship is a tremendous honour for Scotoil. It is also a very fitting recognition of Ian Davidson’s legacy of support which we have carried forward in his name.”
Ian Davidson collapsed and died on February 22, 2003 while pursuing his passion for cycling on a Saturday morning run with friends. He was widely recognised and respected as one of Aberdeen’s brightest entrepreneurs of the time, combining his business drive with a commitment to put something back into the community.
In addition to supporting the Diced Cap Charitable Trust, Scotoil has long supported other local initiatives like Give Kids a Chance, which will also be receiving a Diced Cap Good Samaritan Award 2008.
