James Fisher Renewables has named Wayne Mulhall as the company’s new managing director.
He was appointed EDS HV Group managing director back in August, and will now oversee the running of the two companies.
Mulhall (pictured) previously held a senior role at MHI Vestas and prior to this, senior positions at Siemens Gamesa and Rolls Royce.
EDS strategy sales and commercial director Ryan Calvert has also been appointed as JF Renewables head of sales Europe.
Calvert, who has been at EDS for eight years, stood in as interim managing director for EDS before Mulhall’s appointment.
Mulhall said: “I am delighted to accept the role of managing director at JF Renewables.”
“This is highly complementary to my role as EDS managing director and overseeing both businesses means that we will be able to more effectively view and implement the offering that JF Renewables can bring to the market across the whole James Fisher and Sons group.”
“JF Renewables at its core is about leveraging the group’s experience and expertise together with the niche capabilities offered by its operating companies.
“For this reason, it is particularly relevant that we are bringing the expertise from within these operating companies to enable JF Renewables to help offshore developers accelerate the energy transition.”
Calvert said: “Since 2010 I’ve been fully embedded in the renewables journey from hands on work on offshore wind farms to joining the EDS management team in 2014 as operations director.
“During my time at EDS I’ve led the strategy and innovation of the business and I’m thrilled to be able to bring this experience into my additional role as head of sales Europe for JF Renewables.
“With our combined capabilities JF Renewables is ideally placed to help offshore wind developers and contractors meet their nation states’ global net zero goals and energy independence.”
Since its launch, JF renewables has had a number of high-profile contract wins including undertaking work for customers such as RWE and Iberdrola.

James Fisher Marine Services managing director Giovanni Corbetta said: “The appointment and incorporation of Wayne and Ryan into JF Renewables is further demonstration of our commitment to offering the best in service to our renewables customers.
“With their extensive experience in this space, they also bring with them the success and reputation for which EDS is well known. By realigning our business and revitalising the leadership team we are building on our culture of trust, integrity and operational excellence.”
