As the Chief Commercial Officer at OEG Energy Group I am pleased to present my nomination for a position on the RenewableUK Board.

At OEG Renewables, I lead the development of integrated services and product offerings to offshore wind farm developers, combining specialist topsides, subsea and marine services. The ever-growing scale of renewable projects necessitates a robust and adaptable supply chain capable of supporting the sector’s current and future demands. While the UK’s renewables supply chain has witnessed remarkable growth, achieving ambitious net-zero targets requires continued, collaborative efforts between industry and government to reform and strengthen supporting frameworks. If elected to the Board, I will advocate for the importance of a reliable and resilient UK supply chain, which will be critical to allow members and all stakeholders to successfully achieve the goal of a just and rapid energy transition. Furthermore, I will champion the economic benefits, from jobs to exports, which will flow from a UK supply chain that is well positioned to capitalize on future trends in our sector.
Thank you for considering my nomination. I am incredibly enthusiastic about the opportunity to serve on the RenewableUK Board and contribute my expertise in the offshore energy supply chain for the benefit of all stakeholders
