Ledwood Mechanical Engineering, Mainstay Marine Solutions and CELSA Steel UK have been named as the three Welsh companies selected to take part in the country’s first Fit 4 Offshore Renewables (F4OR) program.
The program, designed to support local companies bidding for work in the floating offshore industry, will be delivered by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult in partnership with Floventis Energy, the developer of Llŷr 1 and 2 in the Celtic Sea.
F4OR, started in 2019, is a 12- to 18-month program across the UK that has so far delivered five regional programs in the northeast of Scotland, northeast of England, East Anglia and Suffolk, as well as run national programs. Over 110 companies have been supported.
Future F4OR Wales cohorts are set to be announced in the coming months.
