OEG strengthens blades team to support renewables success
OEG, a leading energy solutions company, has bolstered its blades division with the appointment of David Först to support its growth in the renewables sector.
Based in Hamburg, a key hub for wind energy, David will report directly to George Moore, OEG’s business development director (topside division), working closely with Bryn Roberts, OEG’s head of blades, and Richard Hughes, OEG’s operations director (blades), to contribute to the company’s expanding onshore and offshore wind activities, helping deliver high-performance solutions for a rising market in Europe and beyond.

David brings over 15 years’ experience working in senior customer-facing and technical roles in the rotor blade segment. Most recently, he spent five years at Bergolin GmbH , managing the aftersales market across Europe, Africa, South America and APAC regions.
David said:
“I have been following OEG, and specifically its rotor blade department, for a few years now and recognise its huge potential. I am impressed by the ambition of the company, its capabilities, and all the team has achieved so far. I look forward to supporting George and the blades team with their continued growth and success.”
George Moore said:
“Attracting someone senior with David’s experience and customer-facing expertise is a strong endorsement of our strategy. Europe is a core market for OEG, with further growth in wind capacity expected in the coming years. This will drive an increasing need for turbine blade maintenance to ensure optimum operational effectiveness, and I look forward to working closely together to strengthen our offering and deliver best-in class customer service.”
OEG’s blades team specialises in blade maintenance and repair services to the wind turbine market both on and offshore.
