Are you ready to celebrate and champion renewables on the Humber?
Dream green team: Humber Renewables Awards 2024 winners.
The Humber Renewables Awards are set to return in 2025 as the fitting finale for Offshore Wind Connections once again.
The celebratory gala dinner will cap the annual conference and exhibition for a third successive year, with both now delivered by Humber Marine & Renewables.
They first came together in 2023 as OWC marked a decade of delivery, with hundreds of industry leaders set to gather in Hull again this spring to share best practice, explore innovation and update on project and policy developments.
Humber Renewables Awards provide the opportunity to kick-back after the keynote speakers and panellists have provided their input, with a relaxed atmosphere in which to highlight achievement.
The current Humber Renewables Champion is Camilla Carlbom Flinn, vice chair of Humber Marine & Renewables. She has been instrumental in the organisation’s development, the merger with Grimsby Renewables Partnership, and the recent significant funding win from Maritime UK.
Launching 2025’s event, Camilla said: “Humber Marine & Renewables is delighted to bring these two events forward together once again.
“Set against a backdrop of ongoing work to build capacity of offshore wind in the near North Sea, a huge contract win for Siemens Gamesa, and a continued focus on security and supply of energy – across all forms – it promises to be a fascinating couple of days.
“When it comes to the awards, I now know first-hand what an incredibly proud and humbling feeling it is to be recognised by your peers, and I’d encourage all with a stake in the sector to get on board and enter in 2025.
“Preparations for this year’s events are going well, and I look forward to seeing the renewables industry convene for a vital two days of insight and inspiration.”
Camilla is a director of Pentagon Marine Ltd, having seen her Stallingborough-based Carlbom Shipping Ltd business acquired in 2022. As well as holding a leading role with HM&R, she serves as honorary consul between the region and Sweden and Finland, while also being actively involved with the Hull and Humber and Swedish Chambers of Commerce.
The sector organisation took the awards on following a restructure by Reach Plc, the company behind regional news brands Hull Daily Mail and Grimsby Telegraph, as well as the Live online platforms, including Business Live. It founded the awards 13 years ago, as the industry’s momentum hit top gear on the Humber. Reach Plc remains involved as media partner.
Entries are now welcomed for the nine open award categories, with the winners to be unveiled at Hull’s Doubletree by Hilton Hotel on Thursday, May 1, capping two days of exhibiting and networking.
Launching the awards’ nomination call, the team behind Humber Renewables Awards have underlined the sector’s breadth, with the scope going well beyond wind. Previous winners have been drawn from major project developers, key supply chain and training partners, as well as the fields of micro-generation, battery storage, solar and hydrogen innovation, together with supporting ports, logistics and engineering operations. The dedicated website – www.humber-renewables.com – is now live, featuring all the information, including the online entry form for the open categories. The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 14.
RWE, headline sponsor of OWC 2025, is backing the event once again, with Rix Renewables sponsoring the networking drinks, opportunities remain to get involved as the countdown begins. For more information email awards@humber-renewables.com.
