SPONSORS OF REGIONAL FOCUS
East Anglia
A substantial number of exhibitors and visitors to the recent RenewableUK Offshore Wind event in Liverpool hailed from the East Anglia area. This bears witness to the region’s commitment and enthusiasm, particularly taking into consideration the difficulty of that inconvenient journey (South East coast of England to North West coast of England), no matter what mode of transport you choose!
The opening addresses at EEEGR’s (East of England Energy Group) Summer Conference in mid July by the Keynote speaker, Brandon Lewis M.P. for Great Yarmouth as well as the EEEGR’s Chairman, Alan Barlow portrayed an enthusiasm seldom experienced. Their main points are to be found in our coverage of the conference within this regional feature.
The work of John Best (CEO) and his efficient and experienced team at EEEGR can be congratulated in particular in running a membership organisation which ensures that their members are at the forefront of any business opportunities which present themselves.

Steve Scott, managing director of TMS Media commented “There’s a really upbeat feel to the energy business in this part of the east coast which has been stepped up by the impending Round Three work,”
“We’ve picked up three new clients this year, and quite a few existing clients within the sector are looking to raise their game with new fully optimised websites and quality printed material. We’ve also noticed an increase in companies commissioning press release campaigns to enhance their profiles.
And concluded enthusiastically, “There’s clearly a great deal of competition within the supply chain and this is reflected in the marketing activity that’s going on as companies strive to get themselves noticed.”
