20 Years and Thriving
By member company Proeon Systems, 18 April 2024 - Norwich, Norfolk
Proeon Systems is celebrating its 20th Anniversary during 2024, which is a proud milestone for the business.

business having navigated the challenges of a competitive business climate, experiencing highs and lows along the way.
From its original vision of providing professional consultancy safety control systems engineering services the company now employs almost 80 people, operating across the transitional energy sector and several other highly regulated industries, providing full turn-key solutions to it’s clients across the UK and Europe.
Proeon prides itself on its ability to exceed client expectations in the provision of value and quality and in adopting a flexible approach to clients’ requirements.
Kevin Magee, Company Founder and Technical Director said - “As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we reflect on the journey that has brought us to this milestone. We are immensely proud of how far we’ve come and are grateful for the support of our team, clients and partners and who have been instrumental in our continued success.”
Mapping Offshore Wind Capabilities in Scotland: highlights
Since our Mapping Offshore Wind Capabilities in Scotland survey closed, we’ve been working on standardizing and translating the data. While we continue to work on producing a report of the findings, we have created some images which give a high-level analysis of the responses, showing the strength of the supply chain here in Scotland.
We were very grateful to gather 80 responses, so these figures are representative of that data and how much respondents were able to share within the confines of confidentiality factors. That’s to say that these figures are impressive, but the real scale and potential is so much greater!
Keep an eye out for our full report on the survey findings, where we will go into more detail on the data gathered and what it can tell us about Scotland’s offshore wind supply chain.
Huge opportunity in offshore wind for Scottish businesses
20 March, 2024
With more than 45 gigawatts in the project pipeline, the offshore wind opportunity for Scottish companies is huge.
There are 48 offshore wind projects under development, construction or in operation in Scottish Waters and if the terms of the UK Offshore Wind Sector Deal are met, 60% of the work will be sourced from UK suppliers with the majority being from within Scotland.
To this end, the Forth and Tay Offshore Cluster, set up primarily to support local supply chain development in offshore wind in Scotland, has joined forces with South of Scotland Enterprise, Scottish Borders Council, local windfarm project Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) and Eyemouth Harbour Trust to highlight the scale and scope of opportunity for local businesses across the South of Scotland and further afield.
We are holding an event on Wednesday 27 March at Eyemouth Golf Club, starting at 1000hrs until around 1500hrs, and extend a warm invitation to local SMEs with an interest in finding out more about the offshore wind opportunities in Scotland and where to find support, as well as anyone who may be considering locating in the area. The event comprises presentations from key stakeholder organisations, networking breaks with a small team of exhibitors, as well as a tour of NnG’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) base and Eyemouth Harbour.
