History
editClaxton was founded in Great Yarmouth in 1985[1] and in 1999 became part of Acteon Group Ltd.
In 2019 Acteon acquired Proserv’s Field Technology Services business unit which merged with Claxton, providing a global footprint. In 2020 another Acteon company, Conductor Installation Services also merged into Claxton.
Claxton provides services across the energy industry, including offshore decommissioning, and fixed wind installation. Claxton has supplied drilling risers for many major projects around the world [3][4][5] and has achieved safety milestones for its operations.[6] Some of the company's projects involve developing new components for the oil and gas industry, for example, technical innovations for drilling risers.[7]
Claxton has received several industry awards, including the Queen's Award for Export Achievement (1998) and the Spirit of Enterprise Great Engineering Company Award (2009).[1][8]
