The global energy sector: 2023 so far
This year, to date, has been extremely busy for all within MGH. Within the first six months of 2023, we have already exceeded what we achieved in 2022, including doubling our team members to support our ongoing projects across Europe.
Highlights include:
NOF
Our engagement with NOF is going from strength to strength. With their support and reach, we have been able to attend events the length of the UK, focusing from The Wash to Berwick Upon Tweed, delivering our offerings and services to new clients within the offshore energy sector. Highlights have included speaking engagements, energy transition seminars, bespoke energy supplier conferences and the recent Scottish Supply Chain Conference in Glasgow.
Scottish Renewables
Our year started with joining Scottish Renewables and, with their support, our reach to new clients in Scotland has been excellent. New relationships have been developed across the energy sector focusing on offshore wind, including floating wind. The traction we have been able to develop has led to significant engagement with key organisations. Results include doubling our support to already existing programmes.
Core team
We continue to enhance our core team to support our service delivery growth. Joining the MGH core team this year is Mike Kramer.
Kramer has joined MGH Offshore as Sales and Marketing Director. Having spent the last 16 years in the offshore wind sector, Kramer has a background in offshore foundation fabrication and installation covering fixed and floating.
