INTRODUCTION
WIND ENERGY NETWORK SKILLS GAP INITIATIVE
We lead this edition with a focus on the existing and perceived future skills gap recognised within the industry.
Having travelled the UK (Europe has this issue pretty much sussed!) and spoken to many leaders in the industry there most definitely is a lack of ‘joined up thinking’ and we aim to concentrate our considerable resources into helping the industry progress quickly and effectively.
Read more and follow the initiative in this and future editions starting with the lead industry feature on pages 4 and 5.
WIND INDUSTRY CAREERS WEBSITE There will also be a dedicated Wind Energy Network careers website created and launched soon so we will keep you all informed as we progress.
REGIONAL SPOTLIGHTS Regional focuses have become very popular, so much so that we are featuring two very active areas of the UK within this edition
• Spotlight on Harwich • Spotlight on the North West of England
Read about what the areas can offer the wind energy industry globally in these substantial features.
CABLE INSTALLATION VESSELS ‘It’s not just about wind turbines’ we hear on many occasions. We continue to focus on all the interesting and important component parts in the makeup of the industry with this informative feature highlighting some of the issues with relevant company case studies – real world scenarios.
BOLTING AND FASTENING Read all about this often overlooked but extremely important requirement in the industry and receive some sound advice from experts in the field.
INSURANCE
Whether we like it or not insurance cover is an essential industry requirement. We give guidance from the experts to those who need information. You can then make informed decisions based on fact.
MAGAZINE AND WEBSITE INTERACTION As we have progressed we have realised just how important our interactive website is to the industry. In short, a magazine has a very limited scope in what it can do – it is out of date as soon as it is printed.
The website however, is limitless in its scope and can house all sorts of information, animations, videos, presentations, brochures, technical papers etc etc – the list is endless, which add to and enrich the articles.
The interaction between the magazine and the website has given us the most pleasure in the complimentary feedback we have received.
