Outstanding individuals and companies from across the UK’s offshore energy sector are revealed today as OEUK announces the shortlist for its annual Awards, sponsored by Shell U.K. Limited.

As host of the event, OEUK will shine a spotlight on the industry’s brightest stars at its ceremony on Thursday November 30 at P&J Live in Aberdeen. This year, an expert panel considered a huge number of nominations across the award categories, identifying more than 30 finalists representing those who have made an exceptional impact on the industry in the past year.

Commenting on the announcements, OEUK CEO David Whitehouse, said:

“We’ve had a fantastic response to our call for nominations with a 50% increase this year. These nominations highlight the breadth of talent in our exciting sector.

We continue to attract young talent, and we received a massive 32 submissions for the Early Career Professional of the Year Award. Companies in the sector are continuing to create working environments that are inclusive, supportive and attractive to all generations.

There is some brilliant and innovative work ongoing, to provide energy security, to accelerate the energy transition, from companies large and small, up and down the UK. We look forward to celebrating our sector and to revealing the winners in November.”

Attendees at OEUK’s Awards ceremony will have the opportunity to vote on the night for the winner of the Neighbour of the Year which recognises companies exemplifying exceptional corporate social responsibility and community engagement.
