One of the Humber region’s leading figures in the renewables revolution has underlined the huge role played by the area’s people in helping make it happen.
Andy Sykes, plant director at Siemens Gamesa’s rapidly expanding Hull blade factory, poured praise on the efforts of the early adopters of the Energy Estuary as he gave the keynote speech at the Humber Renewables Awards.
Reflecting on the six years that have passed since first breaking ground on the site - with it now doubling in size to meet the demands of the next generation turbines, he said: “What astounds me is the sense of pride our colleagues from the Humber region have, and the overwhelming support we have received since the site’s inception, to create something that I believe is truly special.
