Katy Heidenreich, OEUK’s Supply Chain & People Director, said:
'We’re pleased to feature senior leaders from a wide range of organisations, including a major operator/developer like bp and newer smaller enterprises like D2Zero, which helps decarbonise traditional energies, while supporting the development of clean energy solutions. Our line-up of speakers includes politicians, former politicians and senior leaders dedicated to creating equal opportunities for all. We believe this constructive and energising event is for everyone who wants to see the North Sea industry thrive by making the most of all its talent.'
