Team Motive

As well as offering rewarding careers for our team, we believe in providing our employees with opportunities outwith the working environment to build on the already strong relationships our team has developed.


Team Motive formed organically as employees sought opportunities to come together to undertake challenges and fundraising initiatives. Since Team Motive began we have raised over £40k for various charities.

Challenges we have undertaken include:

  • Edinburgh Marathon
  • Erskine Fire Walk
  • Illuminator Night Trail Race
  • The Kiltwalk
  • Strathpuffer 24-hr Mountain Bike Challenge
  • Tough Mudder

We are also proud sponsors of various sports clubs and community initiatives, and in the UAE each year Motive FZE helps provide Iftar meals to almost 3,000 labourers during Ramadan.

Motive Offshore Group is immensely proud of 'Team Motive' and committed to supporting the team in all its endeavours.
