SPONSORS OF REGIONAL FOCUS


TEAM HUMBER MARINE ALLIANCE


Team Humber Marine Alliance has for a number of years been promoting the Humber region across the globe as a destination for offshore wind investment, as well as keeping its members, and the region, abreast of the developments in this fast moving sector.


the offshore wind sector, and it has had some notable successes. Most recently, an inward trade mission hosted by the Alliance and Enterprise Europe Yorkshire helped MTL Group of Rotherham to secure a multi-million pound deal for work on an offshore wind farm.


It is MTL’s largest export order and came about after the Alliance helped to attract Windcluster Mid-Norway to the UK last summer. The visit was coordinated by THMA’s project office, and took in a number of Team Humber members. “The liaison work by Team Humber was fundamental in us pursuing the opportunity and opening the door to this fantastic new contract,” said Darren Taylor, of MTL.


GREEN ENERGY FOCUS This includes playing a key part in the Humber becoming a green energy centre of excellence through lobbying for government support, working with Green Port Hull/Siemens and other major companies that have set up operations in the region, and also by encouraging its members to develop offshore wind technologies and services.


AREA AND COMPANY PROMOTION The Alliance, based at World Trade Centre Hull & Humber on Hull’s waterfront, acts as an extra marketing arm for nearly 120 of the region’s businesses by promoting their individual and collective skills and providing a single access point for potential customers from home and abroad.


Representing the Humber and its member companies at key industry events is a key part of the Alliance’s ongoing role and during October 2011 it will exhibit at RenewablesUK 2011 in Manchester, whilst back in May, All-Energy 2011 Aberdeen generated keen interest in the Alliance’s offering.

CONNECTIONS AND COMMUNICATION WITH GOVERNMENT BODIES


The Alliance will also work closely with the Humber LEP and is delighted that the go-ahead has been signalled for the Humber Enterprise zone with Mark O’Reilly calling it ‘a huge leap forward’.


“Over the last two years we have seen unprecedented collaboration to make the Humber region a UK leader in the sector,” he said. “The news that we now have enterprise zone status is testament to this collective effort and will give us the


extra boost needed to attract further investment.”
