Zoe Barnes
Zoe has over 15 years of experience in the renewables industry, initially in wind R&D and latterly in consultancy. She has led a wide range of strategic engagements for industry participants, drawing on her deep knowledge of turbine technology, technology commercialisation, the offshore wind industry including in particular the UK supply chain.
Edward Ross
Working in the wind sector since 2007, predominantly in offshore wind, has broad experience of technical and analytical roles on projects throughout the project lifecycle, from site selection and consenting through to the detailed design and commencement of operations. Previously with RES and RWE, he has driven LCOE reduction on high-profile projects, resulting in successful subsidy auction bids. He has worked across disciplines (technical, environmental, commercial) and markets (Europe and Asia). This experience provides a strong awareness of technical and commercial drivers underpinning successful projects.
Jerome Jacquemin
Jerome has worked in offshore wind since 2004 for GE, Garrad Hassan, DNV and Everoze and now in the Quaybridge team since 2021. Brings expertise in wind turbine technology selection and package management, contracting strategy and procurement, project engineering and modelling.
David Bridle
Geospatial consultant in offshore wind since 2010 working with RES, Iberdrola and since 2021 within the Quaybridge team. GIS specialist focused on offshore wind spatial data management.
Richard Whiting
Specialised in offshore & onshore wind measurement and modelling since 1999 leading the industry's largest modelling team with Garrad Hassan, DNV and then founding Everoze. Responsible in the Quaybridge team for managing wind measurement campaigns, energy yield analysis, layout optimisation and WTG performance.
