We continue to drive growth in customer segments linked to the low‑carbon economy, with the renewables sector a key focus. In 2025/26, we formed a strategic partnership with a leading UK onshore wind operator, to support the life extension of almost 100 ageing turbines.
Legacy assets present a unique challenge for onshore wind operators as increasingly obsolete components can delay maintenance and repair. Through an on‑site original equipment manufacturer (OEM) conversion, we reviewed over 230 critical parts and identified 157 suitable RS replacements, creating a bespoke spares framework tailored to the turbine fleet. This approach will simplify sourcing, reduce lead times and support long‑term operational reliability.
The partnership also creates a scalable model for future renewable collaborations, enabling more sustainable, repairable and recyclable solutions over time. By combining technical expertise with product depth, we are helping customers extend asset life and improve efficiency in fast‑growing renewable energy markets.
