New leadership for Team Humber Marine Alliance

The Yorkshire region’s maritime and offshore wind organisation has made new appointments to its leadership team, following longstanding chair and CEO Mark O’Reilly stepping down. Team Humber Marine Alliance has made Andrew Oliver chair of the directors and Camilla Carlbom Flinn chair of its advisory board.

Mark O’Reilly took the chief role at the organisation in 2010 and will continue to sit on the board of directors, contributing to the future of the organisation.

In an additional move, Iain Elliott, who is the chief executive of Humberside Engineering Training Association, has become chair of Team Humber’s Maritime & Offshore Skills Group.

Andrew Oliver commented: “Mark was highly active in the early days of offshore wind and played no small part in securing the investment of original equipment manufacturers to the region. He shone a light on the opportunities provided by the burgeoning renewables sector and has guided countless supply chain companies to take advantage, resulting in new energy and buoyancy, new jobs and the formation of a regional cluster.”

Camilla Carlbom Flinn is chair of Immingham-based Carlbom Shipping and also holds regional Swedish and Finnish honorary consulate posts. She said: “Spotting the potential to export the expertise developed by Humber companies in offshore renewables, Mark promoted the region at an international level, ensuring the Humber became the ‘go to’ destination for international delegations such as those from the US and South Korea who were eager to learn from us, particularly in setting up the local supply chain and liaising with major stakeholders.

“He also made Team Humber pivotal in helping the formation of specialist training providers to ensure local people developed the skills needed for the offshore wind revolution, and he has routinely lobbied Government to put our region high on their agenda.”

The organisation’s achievements under Mr O’Reilly’s watch also include the annual conference Offshore Wind Connections, which sees hundreds of delegates from the UK and abroad come to the region. Preparations for the next Offshore Wind Connections event are underway. It was cancelled this year due to COVID-19 and is now scheduled for April 2021.

Team Humber Marine Alliance recently opened an office in Scarborough with the aim of making it more accessible to maritime business north of the Humber and the supply chain inland towards York and Leeds. The board is currently working to secure new growth in the maritime sector: in shipping, fishing and engineering, or to guide diversification into offshore wind support services.
