Hi I’m Nicky and I’m a Master Mariner. My partner Stuart and I own two crew transfer vessels for offshore wind farms in a joint venture company with CWind. I started as a trainee skipper; working on the CWind Athenia. I went full time when our own vessel – the CWind Endeavour – was launched.

When our first vessel (the CWind Endeavour) was launched we began work at Lincs offshore wind farm. Since then she has worked at Gwynt-y-Môr, London Array and is now at West of Duddon Sands. Our second vessel (the CWind Endurance) launched in April 2014 and has worked at Westermost Rough on three separate contracts.

Having studied the harmful effects of global warming at university, I like that I get to contribute towards the reduction of greenhouse gases and a cleaner planet. When you arrive on site first thing in the morning and see all the blades spinning around, producing energy from a natural and abundant resource, there is a lot of satisfaction to be had knowing you helped to build them.
