HQ move signals fresh chapter for wind power firm
Wind power specialist, Boston Energy, has moved to a new head office as the company aims to ramp up growth.
The new home, located at Hesslewood Office Park in Hessle, East Yorkshire, is a modern 3,300 sq ft open plan office, complete with an atrium, breakout spaces and wellbeing room.
It will accommodate the company’s growing team and business operations, as the firm partners with the world’s leading wind energy OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and developers.
Boston Energy split off from parent company Bostonair Group following significant investment from private equity firm LDC last year.
To coincide with the expansion, Boston Energy has also unveiled a rebrand, featuring a new-look logo which reflects the company’s evolution and growth as a major player in the wind industry.
CEO Julian Cattermole said: “Our office move coincides with a period of significant growth. It provides us with much-needed space for both our current team and also to accommodate continued expansion, as we position ourselves as a partner of choice.
“Boston Energy has evolved and expanded significantly throughout its 12-year history. As the wind industry continues to move at pace to meet the UK’s ambitious net zero targets, we remain a key player at the heart of it.

“We’ve supported some of the world’s largest wind farm projects, including Dogger Bank off the North East coast, and are trusted partners of leading organisations including Vestas, GE and Siemens Gamesa.
“Our new office is a symbol of that success and the progress we’ve made so far and sets us up perfectly for the future.”
The business is on track to double its turnover in the space of just over three years.
Its new space will cater to the needs of the company’s near-50 office-based employees, with capacity to accommodate up to 70 team members in the future.
The office has a hot desking system to facilitate flexible working for remote employees, with the company having colleagues working as far away as mainland Europe and the US.
In 2012, Boston Energy signed a contract with Siemens Gamesa UK to provide wind turbine technicians for the company’s UK offshore projects. The company remains a tier one, key supplier for Siemens Gamesa.
In the 12 years that have followed, Boston Energy has expanded its client base to work with names including Ørsted, Vensys, GE, SSE and Vestas.
In 2019, Boston Energy opened a training centre at its previous head office in Norwood House, Beverley, delivering courses such as fire awareness, first aid, advanced rescue, working at height and manual handling.
The training centre will be retained by Boston Energy at Norwood House as part of the office move to Hessle.
Boston Energy’s former sister companies, Bostonair and Boston Renewables, will continue their operations from Norwood House.
