There were also two special Lifetime Achievement awards this year for retiring energy stalwarts Alan O’Neill and Jennifer Cushion, who were presented with Outstanding Contribution to the Industry.
Alan, owner of CHPV Photography and Videography has Europe’s largest offshore photography collection.
He is stepping back after 44 years behind the lens recording history and telling the energy story from the first platforms, first gas, the beginning and growth of offshore wind, the first turning turbines and every milestone in between.

Jennifer Cushion is a consultant at OEG and retiring managing director of Fern Communications in Lowestoft, known for its design, installation and maintenance of offshore technology.
The awards, which depicted a turning turbine, were designed by a group of young scholars from REAGIT, a Norwich-based training company that supports students to gain the skills they need to excel at industry level.
