Energy Industries Council’s offices move to Wynyard Business Village

The northern office of trade association, the Energy Industries Council (EIC) has moved to Wynyard Business Village on Teesside.

The move will place EIC’s office in the region alongside the likes of ConocoPhillips, Hertel and Fabricom, from its previous location at Belasis Technology Park in Billingham.

Steve Kim, the chief executive of Whessoe, part of the Samsung C & T Group, opened the offices.

Claire Miller, CEO of the EIC, said: “The EIC opened its first office in the North East region in 2005 when we recognised that the organisation needed a presence in the North of England. As a major industrial hub for manufacturers and suppliers to the UK energy industries, the Teesside area seemed a perfect fit.

“With over 285 member companies located in the Northern region, the move to a larger facility will provide the EIC’s growing membership base with access to the full suite of EIC services at a local level.

“Additionally, the EIC is UKTI’s Accredited Trade Organisation (ATO) for the Oil & Gas and Renewable industries, so we are perfectly placed to help the many companies concentrated in the North East who work in these sectors to export to international markets.

“From our global project tracking database, EICDataStream, to UKTI part-funded Overseas Delegations hosted in key upcoming markets, the EIC is committed to unlocking opportunities for our members.

“The move really is testament to the growing number of opportunities in the region, as evidenced by the high-profile speakers that have presented to our members today at the EIC North East Energy Showcase.”
