He has overseen the team’s impressive project experience, including contributing to all of France’s active offshore wind projects to date. In addition, he has managed the expansion of the team’s technical excellence to support other Francophone markets, notably in the Republic of Congo. I very much look forward to seeing what he will achieve in his new role as Regional Managing Director,” said Ben Lazenby, CEO of ABL—an ABL Group company.

I look forward to continuing to be a part of this transformative development of our organization as we support our markets in the challenges they face,” said Hugues Delanoue, Regional Managing Director for ABL in Europe and West Africa.
