28. Where is the UK market going to get these services?
Presently the majority of the large value supply and services are coming from outside the UK
This needs to be changed and a new offshore renewables industry created within this country by UK companies which can eventually be exported globally as we have done in the Oil & Gas sector

29. How do supply and service companies get into the Market
There are no specific requirements from a regularity perspective with regards to getting into the market although having for example the Quality Certification ISO 9001 – 2000 would be an advantage but not having it is not a barrier to entry as your product and service is required in a supply and demand situation and this certification can be achieved at a later date
Research the Internet as most of the developers have websites associated with each individual project they are involved in which identifies the key contacts with their organisation
Get in contact with various associations like Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group, Subsea UK, Scottish Renewables, Scottish Enterprise and other UK Regional Agencies, Engineering Industries Council, British Wind Energy Association and the European Wind Energy Association as they can all assist from a supply chain perspective
Attend Share Fares like this put on by Scottish Enterprise and the Crown Estates
Attend conferences like the All Energy (Aberdeen in May 10) and the British Wind Energy Offshore Conference (Liverpool in June 10)

30. The Market Summary It is here now and we need majority UK content
Requires Construction Supply and Service Companies both Onshore and Offshore
Needs experienced Construction and Technical Personnel both
Onshore and Offshore
There is the opportunity to expand into Europe and Globally
