FOOTPRINT RENEWABLES


HELPING HUMBER BUSINESSES GET A FOOT INTO THE WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY


The need for reliable communication and marketing in a fast growing industry.


Footprint Renewables is a public relations and marketing company working exclusively with the renewable energy industry.


BESPOKE CLIENT SERVICES


The firm provides bespoke PR and media communications, print and brand marketing, advertising, research and event management.


The company, based in Hull, was launched this year in response to a demand from businesses working in the wind energy supply chain, but new to the Humber region, wanting a media partner with expert local knowledge and skills.


WELCOME SUPPORT


The Footprint Renewables team – Andrew Morton, Dave Rogers, Dave Wilkinson and Karel Newlove


With so many different types of organisations able to capitalise on the Humber’s wind energy industry, there is a vital need for reliable communication and marketing and this is where Hull- based Footprint Renewables is helping businesses across the region.


Another requirement was from firms which had been operating in the region for many years and now needed support – through fresh marketing and public relations – to reposition, ready for the opportunities


presented by offshore wind, particularly Round Three projects.


Account director Andrew Morton said: “It is clear the Humber is entering a new chapter in its story, one that will see the area placed at the heart of the


renewables industry. “However, this wonderful opportunity also presents a challenge for all of us involved – we need to promote new products, to new markets, in double-quick time.”


ACHIEVEMENTS AND SUCCESS


Significant achievements have included Footprint Renewables providing a report, circulated to business and industry leaders in the Humber, on the benefits to the region of the area playing a role in the proposed offshore renewable energy Technology and Innovation Centre.


Another, high-profile, success has been the company’s role in promoting and supporting the organisation of the two Renewing The Humber green energy business conferences staged this year, attracting hundreds of delegates from across the UK and overseas.


AIMS AND ASPIRATIONS


Footprint Renewables has clear ambitions to support the Humber’s growth as a major force in wind energy, by highlighting the impressive portfolio of businesses already able to form an extensive local supply chain – and by helping those companies new to the area, including developers and operators.

LOCATION


It comes as wind turbine manufacturers, such as Siemens, look to build manufacturing plants on the banks of the Humber estuary, close to Ferriby Group International’s UK head office in the town of Hessle, near Hull.


Directors of Ferriby Group International believe the company’s location, and its extensive knowledge of the marine and manufacturing sectors, makes the business perfectly placed to help firms either entering, or already working in, the offshore wind industry.


EXPERIENCE The company, and its sister business Ferriby Marine, was established in 1990 by two master mariners to offer a range of consultancy and training services, including on health and safety matters, to ports and shipping firms.
