In recent years, OEG has rapidly expanded both of its’ divisions through organic growth and acquisition to become a critical component in global offshore infrastructure, providing essential solutions for the offshore energy industries across traditional and renewable energy markets.

John Heiton, OEG’s Chief Executive Officer said:
OEG has grown rapidly in recent years as we have consolidated our position as a market leader in Offshore cargo units and diversified our business through the strategic growth of our Renewables division which now represents 50% of Group revenue. We feel that now is the appropriate time to establish a new management structure that better reflects the scale, depth of service and strategic balance of the Group. We are fortunate to have access to such quality and experience across the key areas of finance, M&A, HSE and sustainability; all of which will play a pivotal role in OEG’s future.
