The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has appointed Steve Foxley as Chief Exec, to replace Andrew Jamieson. He will take up the post early next year.
Steve is currently the CEO of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre in Sheffield, part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, having previously been a member of the Executive Management Board of Siemens plc, leading their Building Technologies Division.
ORE Catapult Chair Ronnie Bonnar said: “Steve’s extensive national and international experience of driving innovation, investment and growth will be a huge asset not just to ORE Catapult but to the whole of the offshore renewable energy sector.
“His experience of working within the Innovate UK Catapult Network will also ensure ever greater collaboration across the Network, delivering massive benefits to the UK as we look to scale up offshore wind to meet our Net Zero goals and become a clean energy superpower”.
Steve Foxley said: “Offshore wind is a sector that has long held my fascination for its capacity to regenerate forgotten communities; to provide green energy to homes and businesses; to push the boundaries of innovation, and to make industrial scale impact globally.
“I am very much looking forward to joining the team at ORE Catapult to support this critical sector and to deliver on the country‘s ambitions.”
