Bibby Offshore boosts renewables team

Subsea services provider Bibby Offshore has appointed Dorothy Shepherd as General Manager for its renewable energy division.

In her new role, Shepherd will be instrumental in the delivery of new business in the renewables sector, Bibby Offshore said.

Shepherd said: “I am confident my knowledge will help to identify new opportunities in the renewables market and deliver the strategic results required for long-term success.”

The appointment follows the formation of Bibby Offshore’s new business optimization team, led by Graeme Wood, as part of the company’s strategic growth strategy.

Graeme Wood, Business Optimization Director at Bibby Offshore, said: “Renewables has been a key element of Bibby Offshore’s strategic growth plan for a number of years, and Shepherd’s appointment demonstrates the importance that we attribute to this market as a potential source of revenue in the future.”
