BlueFloat Energy | Nadara Partnership

Celebrating the brightest stars of the Global #OffshoreWind industry at #RUKAwards24 in London - including our own supply chain lead, Kirsty Adams for well deserved 'Future Leader' award! 👏 Kirsty's work continues to drive local supply chain growth, ensuring Scotland’s offshore wind projects stay at the forefront of the UK's net-zero ambition. Most notably, Kirsty is the Industry Chair of The Offshore Wind Industry Council’s (OWIC) Supply Chain and Clusters Workstream, which works to ensure a robust supply chain for the ongoing deployment of offshore wind, liaising closely with government to ensure industry representation in legislation development. Also encouraging to hear Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, praising offshore wind's success to date and highlighting the wave of government support for an industry that is 'central' to government's 2030 clean energy targets. And as proud sponsors of the event, Susie Lind presented the award for Environment & Sustainability to EDF Renewables UK & Ireland for its Collaborative Reef Cube installation, to enhance marine biodiversity. 💚 These awards celebrate the very best in leadership, talent, innovation, environmental stewardship, and world-leading health & safety performance from across our global industry.
