Massive company you never heard of because they own 80% of Texas oifield business stupid
Who the heck is Wood Group?
Never heard of them here in Texas
Anyone with a quality degree joins a quality company not low skill dumb iron techs like baker and woods group.
Wood Group don’t hire people without a university degree from a recognized university. Only highly skilled people. Low level skilled people will be outsourced to a staffing agency going forward
If you have a quality degree you will do very well in the new company.
Sounds like some of the Baker employees on this site here won’t pass the minimum Wood Group intelligence level
Not all employees will be able to enjoy the opportunities that WG offer. Sorry if you ain’t good enough for Baker you certainly
wont be good enough for the high standards of a company like WG
Aye, fire blankets to be red, Mosquito nets to be white, footways to be yellow (BoDs favourite colour) and first aid boxes green. It is all in the latest EU Directive.
Hey dumbo, we have to paint the fire blankets - it is in the latest EU Directive.
Painting fire blankets - unblievble. Stoneywood embarasmant to baker. How be so stoopid.
I heard Baker Wood Group
Has a nice ring to it
Does anybody know what the new company will be called???
Will it the BHWG or WGBH?
I would think it will be the first one?
Anyway some good news at last for the oil and gas industry globally
A new global oilfield service powerhouse coming from such a high tech country like Scotland can only be good for the industry
We will have a special celebration at BOD office Friday drinking session in the afternoon to celebrate the announcement of the merger and introduce the Wood Group Boys to the company culture
Give them a big Baker welcome !!!
All of Africa laughing at stoneywood stupidity. Nobody paint fire blanket, only stoneywood 😂😂. Maybe you need more educations in Aberdeen.
There is a real buzz also in Woodgroup right now about this merger. Can only be good for both company’s employees
It will be formally announced in Energy section of the P&J this week including a full page interview with Sir Ian himself setting out his vision for the new organization
Totally awesome!!
Utter garbage this post. Wood group have no intention joining up with Bakerhughes. BHGE for now
You clowns in baker stoneywood need to understand you don’t need to paint a fire blanket. It’s not what people do. Everyone knows that except numties like you. No wonder they had to send Norwegians to that shxxhole.
Can see people in Africa speak better English than in Bh Aberdeen.
bh aberdeen low tech small pay good for wood groups indianeering also low pay. Stoneywood also likes painting hose reel and fire blanket for main product line but needs more educations.
Our manager told us Its coming and will be formally announced later this week, however, it still needs approval from shareholders but that’s a formality
Wood Group is a very successful company for us to join. We will learn from them
Please come and save us Woodgroup
We need you to take us out of our GE misery machine
We are very hardworking people and will bring lots and lots of profits to you if you buy us
Wood Group very high technology company who use most advanced software and computer systems
Best company in Scotland and owner is a billionaire
I would love us to become one with them
huh, huh-huh, huh, uh he said wood, huh, huh-huh
Stoneywood is a dumb iron facility in aberdeen will suit fire extinguisher service and storing hose reels etc. Good for career paths for everyone including managers who have low education standard. Low pay will keep cost down good for bonus but pension stopped long time now.
This is good news for baker to get into a new new career in fire extinguishers and fire hoses. Also the opportunity for painting these products in red . Bring on wood group.
What a coup for wood group if they can pull this off
Puts them right at the top of the oilfield services premier league
rdg don’t be afraid to seek medical/psychological help, it doesn’t have the stigma it once had, recent advances have improved the field of study.
oh to hell ! wth ! that ! rumors are sketchy but a certain forward thinking individual with a space rocket company needs some drilling specialists, workers, people who can actually work, anyway first to the moon with two crews, drilling from perpendicular angles, core samples my a-- ! no ! whatever value able minerals be found , well great ! but ! is the moon hollow! can it be used to benefit earth ! or is it really a big giant artificial moon , i.e. spaceship !!! drilling companies with tools and talent would make agreat investment and it is time to get started. A company like this ? it has tools , it has resources, the office staff is expendable and engineering is not needed as they have no experience in these specialties. don’t think this is nonsense and be caught off guard when the nees breaks. This has been eth hhtfjyh df. ge ffr gy td de e. fr. urh. ge ws ok.
Well if anybody can close this deal it’s Sir Ian
As a Baker manager in U.K. we would love to be part of such a prestigious company as Wood Group.
Well we can live in hope !
Realistically guys i think there is not a hope in hell of Wood Group buying Baker, they may buy Petrofac but not Baker
Hate to tell you'll this but Sir Ian Wood is retired. Hahaha
A lot of synergy between these two and will complete Sir Ian Wood dream of having the worlds largest service company in Aberdeen
Good luck to all
Good opportunities to get into fire extinguisher servicing and hose inventory if you get on fast track programme.
My boss told me it’s a done deal and would be good for us employees and open up opportunities within Wood Group
Getting 😆 excited now!!
Asda seen delivering truckloads of McVitie’s Digestives to Baker offices. Preparing for Sir Ian’s visit.
Nobody interested in merger of two of th biggest low tech losers in North Sea. Both ar dumb iron specialists earning peanuts and no pension. This be the laughing stock of oil industry.
