01Who we are
Founded by blade technicians in 2023, based at the Humber’s renewable energy hub.
We are based at the CATCH facility in Stallingborough, on the outskirts of Grimsby and the banks of the Humber, the operations and maintenance centre of the UK offshore wind industry. Our ethos is to improve the quality and standards within a sector that is still growing fast, and our team has a combined thirty years in renewables, training and development.
We describe ourselves as a disruptor: small courses, real blade sections, instructors who still work in the field, and bespoke pre-mobilisation programmes that give employers evidence of competence before a crew goes to site. Maersk Training Grimsby books its blade repair and Siemens spot repair courses with us, and we deliver the Skills Bootcamp blade repair pathway with CATCH Skills.
