It's been a long time, but we're back

After an extended break, learning about the oil services economy and spending some time trying to provide innovative services to reshape the offshore wind maintenance challenge, Redfield Consulting is relaunching. We are looking forward to getting re-engaged with the offshore, wind and tidal industries, and in parallel, John Aldersey-Williams plans to undertake a PhD in the economics and policy of this sector, to understand its economic, socio-economic and green costs and benefits better and to boost the support we can offer to its players. We're already realising how things have changed - a number of tidal developers are now developing significant projects, offshore wind is progressing at a truly industrial scale but the wave sector seems to have lost pace. Over the coming weeks, we'll be catching up on this, and also developing a roadmap for funding for marine developers. It's good to be back.
