Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG) has enhanced its board with the appointment of two new directors, expanding the existing board to eight members.
Allan MacAskill, technical director at Flotation Energy, and Andrew Wilson, managing director at Coast Offshore, will support AREG’s mission to further develop the North-east's renewable energy sector and its members by unlocking supply chain opportunities.
Allan has over 40 years of experience in the energy industry, spanning traditional oil and gas as well as renewables. He co-founded Kincardine Offshore Wind Limited in 2012 and Flotation Energy in 2018.
Andrew worked in the rotating equipment industry for more than a decade with companies including Siemens Energy, where he supported operators in oil and gas, before transitioning to renewables. Prior to assuming his current position as managing director of Coast Offshore, Andrew was a service operations manager at the Seagreen offshore wind farm on behalf of Vestas.
The new board members join Jean Morrison MBE, AREG chairperson, alongside current directors Gordon McIntosh, director at Aberdeen International Associates; Sven van den Bedem, growth and energy transition business opportunity manager/project director at Shell; Nassima Brown, co-founder and strategy director at Fennex; Rod Hutchison, partner at Aberdein Considine; Alfonso Martinez-Felipe, senior lecturer in chemical engineering at the University of Aberdeen; and Councillor Dell Henrickson of Aberdeen City Council.
