Argent Energy’s Oil Terminal location in Ellesmere Port, U.K., won a RoSPA Gold Medal for 2024 after achieving eight consecutive gold awards.

Argent Energy’s Stanlow site, also based in Ellesmere Port, U.K., was awarded the RoSPA Silver Award for its exemplary health and safety standards throughout 2023. 

Both accolades demonstrate the company’s commitment to ensuring the highest health and safety standards across its sites.

We congratulate Argent Energy for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”
