Our History & Background
ETL Group Ltd was formed in June 1996, specifically to bring the management and operations of three successful New Plymouth-based companies under the control of a single management function. The initiative was driven by our Managing Director, Captain Deepak Ahluwalia, and his desire to offer clients more cohesive and specifically tailored solutions that would exceed their requirements.
Recognising growth in the oil & gas sector around this time prompted the government of the day to become more focused on the health and safety requirements of the industry. It began to implement a range of new legislative and regulatory controls and ETL responded immediately by implementing a comprehensive integrated quality and safety management system to ensure compliance and currency around the new laws. The success of ETL’s safety management system is in no small part responsible for our enviable zero-harm record within the marine environment.
Today, our company structure and robust financial health allows us to act swiftly,
make fast commercial decisions, and to work quickly across many industries. Consequently, ETL is able to design individually tailored solutions that satisfy our
client’s, and prospective clients, specific marine and / or logistics needs, whatever
they may be, often within timelines unachievable by larger [board regulated]
organisations.
Our team of experienced and qualified professionals, supported by our robust
Integrated Management System, and backed by our zero-harm record, affords ETL client’s confidence that their project will be well planned and executed safely and efficiently.
