Winning Locally,
Going Global
STEM Centre,
Middlesbrough College
The Tees region has world-beating
companies along with the skills and
expertise to continue to grow its central
role in the booming offshore wind sector.
That was a key message from former
energy minister Sir Michael Fallon as he
launched a major new report on the UK’s
offshore wind projects.
Commissioned by Bill Scott of Port
Clarence-based Wilton Engineering, the
report – Winning Locally, Going Global
– was launched to a full house at the
Middlesbrough College STEM Centre.
