We would like to officially announce the retirement of Willie McCusker, Assistant Driller and Andrew Dellett, Lead Driller.

Both Willie and Andrew have been integral members of the Phoenix team for many years, bringing with them a wealth of experience, dedication, and hard work .Their commitment on site, support to their colleagues and contribution to countless projects across the UK has not gone unnoticed.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of celebrating both Willie and Andrew as a company with a lovely meal and drinks at The Dakota, South Queensferry followed by a proper Phoenix Drilling shindig - a fitting send-off for two great men.

On behalf of everyone at Phoenix Drilling, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for everything they have given to the company over the years. We wish Willie and Andrew a long, happy, and healthy retirement – it’s very well deserved.

Enjoy the next chapter, gents! 👏
