Specialist Wind Services (SWS) is proud to announce that our Commercial Director, Hannah Damary-Wilson, has been shortlisted in the Future Leader category at the Global Offshore Wind Awards 2025, hosted by RenewableUK.
The Future Leader award recognises individuals who are driving innovation, collaboration, and meaningful change across the renewable energy sector. Hannah’s shortlisting reflects not only her commercial leadership, but also her commitment to safety, contractor welfare, and creating opportunities for the next generation in the Humber and beyond.
Leadership rooted in reality
Hannah’s approach to leadership has always been about connecting strategy with real-world delivery. With a background in rail and a proven track record in wind, she brings a practical, technician-informed perspective to a sector often dominated by top-down viewpoints.
“For me, leadership is about people,” Hannah explains. “It’s about making sure what we put on paper works in practice offshore, on site, and across supply chains. It’s about listening as much as leading, being straightforward, and ensuring the work we do truly benefits people and communities.”
Championing innovation and skills
In the past year, Hannah has helped shape new approaches in areas such as lifecycle integrity and decommissioning, supporting operators to plan more responsibly across the full lifespan of their assets. She has also been active in advancing the idea of a Renewable Transition Impact (RTI) Dashboard, designed to measure the sector’s real-world impact on clean growth, jobs, and regional skills.
Her focus is not only on commercial delivery, but on making sure the benefits of the energy transition are widely shared. From contractor welfare and reliable pay, to building credible career pathways in the Humber, Hannah has been a consistent voice for putting values into action.
A proud moment for SWS
“Hannah is a standout force in the renewable sector, leading with clarity, purpose, and care,” said Lewis Wilson, Managing Director. “She has an ability to bridge strategy and operations in a way that builds trust and delivers real value – for clients, contractors, and communities alike. We’re proud to see her recognised among the sector’s brightest future leaders.”
👏 We also extend our congratulations to all of the nominees for this year’s Global Offshore Wind Awards – a strong reminder of the talent and innovation driving our industry forward.
