The Offshore Wind Growth Partnership has appointed Anil Sayhan as its new Programme Director.
Anil joins from Shell where he held frontline and corporate roles in product marketing, exploration and production and renewables and energy solutions in the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, and the UK.
He will take on the role from Andrew Macdonald, Director of Offshore Wind Development and Operations at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, but Andrew will continue his involvement in the OWGP board.
Macdonald said: “The opportunities for UK supply chain companies are increasing due to the combined drivers of net zero, energy security and economic growth. OWGP is in a great place to expand and enhance the supply chain and Anil brings a wealth of experience to ensure it is successful.”
Sayhan added: “It is an extremely exciting time to be joining OWGP. Building on the foundations of this successful programme, I look forward to contributing to the accelerated development of the UK offshore wind supply chain and supporting UK companies to maximise the economic value and highly skilled jobs they will generate.”
