Joanne Leng MBE, Deputy Chief Executive of NOF Energy and Deputy Chair of Energi Coast, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting this important conference and exhibition, which will bring together leading lights from the offshore wind industry and demonstrate the important role the North East of England is playing in the sector.
“The region has now become a significant supply chain hub for offshore wind, geographically it is exceptionally well-placed for servicing both the UK and European markets and is a prime location for businesses looking to set up and invest in the UK”
“This conference will also highlight key requirements of the developers and contractors from the region’s companies and those in the wider UK supply chain. It will also be an excellent opportunity for networking and for sharing insights and knowledge into new developments within the sector.”
