THE VISION
“However, we are also aware of potential ‘churn’ – the skills gaps that will be left as people migrate to jobs in renewables. For example, we have a thriving caravan industry in Hull, so we envisage workers from this sector will be interested in opportunities at Green Port Hull. We are looking at the local economy as a whole and making sure our established industries are well supported.”
Mark Jones added: “Green Port is a broad strategy to capture the opportunity from the renewable sector. The Siemens investment and the partnership with ABP is an example of close working for mutual benefit, both to industry and the community. We have worked extremely closely with Siemens who themselves have committed considerable resources to ensure that everything goes well for the area and to ensure, where possible, local employment and supply chain benefits are reached.
“We are dedicated to helping them. The Hull area has a wealth of well-established firms already working within the maritime sector. A lot of their skills are transferable into the wind energy industry. We are offering them assistance with this and are finally seeing a transition for businesses locally. We hope to see this positive progress continue.”
