On 14th September, ODE’s Head of Technical Services Thomas Tsantikos attended the 17th UK Taiwan Renewable Energy Roundtable organised by the Department for International Trade (DIT) in Taipei. At the event in London, ODE joined officials from British and Taiwanese delegations including government bodies, trade associations, and developers.

Topics discussed at the roundtable included Taiwan’s latest offshore wind development targets, net zero goals and challenges in the UK and Taiwan, and the importance of training for engineering personnel. ODE would like to thank the DIT in Taipei for this opportunity to engage once again with the leading Taiwanese offshore wind sector.

ODE and ODE Asset Management have been presented with Gold Awards by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB). The ECITB provides support and access to training opportunities and development activities across the engineering industry. The awards recognise both companies’ commitment to training and development across their workforces. The awards were presented as part of the ECTIB’s Skills and Training Charter with the Gold Award being the highest achievement available. Goals of the Charter include tackling skills gaps and shortages, improving access to quality training, and assuring competence across the industry.

Tracey Parkes, Group Head of HR, commented, “We are delighted to have received this award; we are proud to be “leading industry learning” and are committed to providing engaging development opportunities and supporting our whole workforce to enhance their skillsets and competencies and broaden their expertise.”
