Welcome to episode two of Power Onn. In this episode, we are joined by Helen Thomas, Stakeholder Engagement Manager at RWE. Talking to people in the offshore wind, you soon learn that maybe there’s no such thing as a conventional route into the industry. Our world-leading sectors boasts individuals from all walks of life, and Helen Thomas is no exception to this. Helen left school at 17 and showed a tremendous amount of determination and ambition to return to higher education and pursue a career in a field that makes a huge difference to the world around her. Originally from Crystal Palace, Helen now spends her days (in a normal year, at least) travelling up and down the country as part of her work on Awel y Môr and Sofia offshore wind farms.
