SPONSORS OF REGIONAL FOCUS


KEY SPEAKERS Speakers at the event included Alan Johnson MP (pictured, opposite page), Sam Pick of Renewables Network, Professor Chee Wong of the Logistic Institute, John Britton of BCG Bridgepoint, Jonathan Rollison of Point Engineering and Andrew Morton of Footprint Renewables, Chairman on the day (pictured, below).


A COMBINED EFFORT WITH A COMMON GOAL The conference, which took place at the Country Park Inn, was organised by Footprint Renewables and the Renewables Network. Its aim was to provide a guide for businesses on how they could prepare for the opportunities on the horizon.


Charles Heath, of Renewables Network, said: “People often wonder what a hotel has to do with the renewables industry, but when you consider how many people will travel to the Humber as a result of what is happening here, you begin to realise they have as much chance to benefit as companies already working in offshore wind.”


HUMBER REGION OPPORTUNITIES Rob Bell of Archomai also spoke at the conference, and said there will be plenty of exciting opportunities ahead for companies across the region.


But he warned that simply being located in the Humber – just 12 hours sailing time from the huge offshore wind farms that are set to transform the North Sea – was not enough to guarantee a place in the supply chain.


“We started this journey saying we all have the benefit of location. We have location in spades but if we are not careful we are going to fritter that away.


“We need to be upping our game. If we don’t, others will come in and eat our lunch”.
