Formed last year, and comprising about 20 businesses in the Humber region, the sub-group will serve North Sea and UK offshore wind energy operators.

The other companies alongside Towne Lifting and Testing include


• Colt Industrial • Corrocoat • Cosalt • Danbrit Shipping • Fairburns Group • Giraffe Access (Zarafa Holdings)


• Humber Access • Humber Electrical Engineering

POTENTIAL FOR NEW BUSINESS Mark O’Reilly, Director of Team Humber Marine Alliance, explained that the new sub-group offers real potential to win new business by member companies operating more closely together.


One company involved is Hull- based Towne Lifting and Testing, which supplies lifting equipment and testing services to this increasingly important sector.


Chris Towne, Managing Director, said: “As there are so many opportunities out there we believe we can take advantage more fully with this joint approach, whether it is making tender applications or even just attending important trade shows.

RES OFFSHORE VISIT On May 16, representatives of the group will also visit the Hertfordshire head offices of RES Offshore, which has the operations and maintenance contract for the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farm.


“This will allow members to look at what kinds of business opportunities are available and how companies can get involved either locally or nationally,” added Mr O’Reilly.
