Durham Lifting Joins the National F4OR Programme Collaboration
30th June, 2022
Durham Lifting will be part of an ambitious group of fourteen companies from the UK for the first national Fit 4 Offshore Renewables (F4OR) programme. The scheme will be implemented by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult and funded by the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP).
The plans are now underway and will allow the selected companies to follow a rigorous 12-18 month program as they prepare to bid for work in the offshore wind sector. This will be a unique service that will demand the commitment and motivation of all senior leadership teams.
The mission of the F4OR programme is to help support the development of an increasingly competent, capable, and competitive UK offshore renewable energy supply chain on a national and global scale.
Amanda Gardiner, Managing Director of Durham Lifting, commented “So pleased to be selected as part of the growth programme. We are excited to be working with everyone”.
