Engineering company Osbit has made a series of new appointments, following its acquisition by offshore wind services company Venterra Group.
The new appointments focus on the creation of new director roles to oversee different areas within the company.
To ensure continued growth director Neil Harrison is leading business resources, director Phil Pennington is leading project delivery, director Martin Jolliffe takes on technical delivery, and director Steve Binney is heading up future technology advancement.
These appointments, all of whom were formerly associate directors, are experienced engineers who have helped shape Osbit’s project success to date.
To recognise the continued growth in sales and business development, director Chris Jones is leading business development and continuing to drive the growth strategy, director Ben Webster now heads up all sales, and director Scott Gartshore leads an enhanced customer support function.
These appointments were also internally recruited, with each new director already heavily involved in Osbit’s sales and business development efforts.
Osbit’s new appointments sit on a newly formed executive committee with the existing directors. This committee, which is responsible for running the business, is an evolution of the previous operational board.
Osbit joint managing directors Brendon Hayward and Robbie Blakeman said: “These appointments are part of ensuring that our current growth trajectory continues in a sustainable manner, while maintaining our commitment to supporting our clients and delivering a best-in-class service.
“This development also cements our commitment to enabling the global energy transition.”
