Humber renewables project secures global partner to boost UK offshore sector

A global engineering firm has become the first anchor partner of Team Humber Marine Alliance.

Architecture, engineering and construction giant Burns & McDonnell has partnered with the renewable energy business in order to support the UK offshore wind sector.

The 121-year-old group has joined the Team Humber Marine Alliance partnership scheme, which launched last month.

CEO of Team Humber Marine Alliance, Mark O’Reilly, commented: “Our anchor partners will play a vital role in helping us to ensure the Humber cements its position as a world leader in offshore wind and wider renewables, and in turn, our involvement will help them with their growth plans” he said.

Tony Appleton from Burns & McDonnell added: “Burns & McDonnell has delivered critical energy projects for more than 100 years and we are continuing to expand our team to support offshore wind projects globally that will help provide efficient, sustainable energy for years to come.

“To strengthen the industry, we are working closely with crucial UK industry stakeholders and organisations like Team Humber Marine Alliance which has been a hugely important player in the success of the sector to date and linked UK expertise to opportunities in the United States.”
