Mike Corney Nanna Aaserød John Wawer James Cattell (MCIPS) John Anderson Tom Nightingale MCIM Daniel Franco Aoife Rowan-Dempsey (amazing organisation Aoife 😊) and of course Bjørn Ivar Vold was there in spirit! It was also lovely to enjoy a couple of days in sunny Pembrokeshire and a slightly damper Cornwall with Equinor colleagues deeply involved in our Celtic Sea activity Simon Cheeseman Julie Taylor David Cooper Claire Canning Manon K. Huge thanks go to Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult for all their professional support in developing our visits and for their enthusiasm and care in ensuring that so many key organisations and businesses had access to the programme, we look forward to future collaborations
I can’t mention all the wonderful people that we met (we also chatted to inspiring individuals designing new solutions to Floating Offshore Wind problems we hardly knew we had), but we are excited to work with you on this marathon journey and very much appreciated you joining us. It was also fantastic to meet Shaun Slaymaker of Cornwall Marine Network and appreciate the energy going into Apprenticeships and the many emerging opportunities for skills partnerships between businesses (big and small), colleges, universities and local authorities. Meanwhile, it was super to see Simon Brewer of Bridgewater and Taunton College again and to be introduced to Justin Olosunde FRGS – hearing all about the intense workforce mapping and planning to maximise regional skills impacts. Arwyn Williams and William Bateman, we look forward to welcoming your college team to the Equinor Great Yarmouth O&M base and a visit to East Coast College (courtesy of the amazing Rachel Bunn) in May. The tour of Pembrokeshire College was inspiring (especially the Welding and Fabrication Centre of Excellence, but also the beautiful Biology Labs!) and we witnessed first-hand the emerging regional collaboration opportunities already taking shape. Collaboration across and beyond the Celtic Sea region to develop experience and enable knowledge transfer was certainly a theme we heard repeated – whoever we engaged with.
Reflecting on our Equinor Celtic Sea Supply Chain and Skills programme at the Bridge Innovation Centre, Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire and the National Maritime Centre in Falmouth, Cornwall last week - it was tremendous to appreciate the immense body of experience gearing up to the Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) opportunities in the Region.įollowing presentations on Equinor and FLOW, an insight into potential supply chain opportunities and sessions on business support/innovation from our ORE Catapult colleagues, Nanna Aaserød and I led the Skills-related presentation and ‘Knowledge Café’.
