UK temporary power and engineering solutions outfit Manor Renewable Energy will celebrate its fifth anniversary this month, having been set up by directors Eric Briar, John Tye and Toby Mead in early 2014.
Highlights of the first five years include commissioning in 2016 the build of the company’s first vessel, the Manor Venture, constructed by Manor Marine shipyard in Portland, Dorset.
In 2017, the same 6000 square metre shipyard was acquired and has since become the company headquarters.
The facility allows Manor to provide a “full engineering capability from design to fabrication, a service that has elevated the company potential within offshore wind”.
Manor also believes that as projects move further offshore, temporary power will become increasingly vital to de-risk the construction phase.
In line with this demand, Manor Renewable Energy said it has increased the overall company workforce and made several new additions to the senior management team.
“With several temporary projects scheduled for 2019, a second vessel under construction at the Portland facility and the development of a full offshore engineering capability, the company goes from strength to strength,” Manor said.
