With the approaching conclusion of the warranty period on the 88 turbines which starts at the end of June 2014, a newly-appointed team of six highly skilled technicians will lend their support to the fault diagnostics and reactive maintenance of the turbines carried out by the Operation & Maintenance team.

These technicians, all of whom come from Norfolk and who will be based predominantly offshore, will be led by Manager, Richard Nunn. Richard is a qualified electrical engineer from Fakenham, Norfolk - a seasoned employee who has been with the company for over three years.

The latest round of recruitment by SSOWF is part of the natural development of the organisation with a long-term focus on efficient operation and maintenance of the plant for the next 20-year period.

In addition to the six technicians, two warehouse personnel have also be appointed to support the O&M team with necessary management and distribution of tools and spare parts. Both of these team members come from Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk.
