Neil Gordon, chief executive of Subsea UK, said: “Every year we are impressed by the quality of award applications we receive as they highlight the ambition of the UK subsea sector. This year has seen companies begin to embrace the new optimism across the industry, with bold moves in innovation and growth across the supply chain.
“We are sure that the Subsea UK Awards 2020 will reflect this buoyant mood and we look forward to celebrating the success of the sector at what is always an excellent event.”
Last year’s awards, attended by more than 600 industry professionals, saw Motive Offshore Group crowned subsea company of the year, and Jim Milne, managing director of Balmoral Group, recognised for his outstanding contribution to the sector.
