32. Drivers to establish a second operating office
To achieve the three year targets; additional resources are
required.
The rate of growth in Aberdeen is being limited by a number of
factors:
Aberdeen resource pool does not readily have Renewables experience
The cost of Aberdeen staff is higher due to the Oil & Gas industry salaries and
cost of living
Technip has already drawn from the local Aberdeen Pool
Resourcing elsewhere and offering relocation is an additional cost.
On an ongoing basis we lose staff to O&G, this will apply to new recruits which
we relocate to Aberdeen
We need a new workfront in which to recruit
There are additional reasons and benefits to a second office but
the above reason alone is sufficient to proceed.

38. Newcastle Summary
Benefits
Excellent labour pool in terms of appeal to relocate, nearby university focus on
Renewables and transferable skills
Near Port of Sunderland, presently being used by TOWL Cables Division
Relative costs are low – Cost of living, Cost of office space and Average
Engineers salary
Good proximity to offshore projects – Notably Hornsea, Dogger bank and Firth of
Forth
The office would be situated within 2 CORE* locations (Tyneside & Teeside)
Drawbacks
Poor proximity to clients as only NAREC in a 60 mile radius plus a Vattenfall
office in Hexham
Can the poor locality of clients be mitigated with some
interface to the london office

Partnership between central and local governments and local economic partnerships

39. Due Diligence
A series of Senior Manager tours of Newcastle were set up
Informal consultation with clients to confirm that setting up
in Newcastle will not be a move which would upset their
plans.
Engagement with the local Chamber of Commerce, the NOF
and the Local Enterprise Partnership during the tour.
Engagement with DUCO in Newcastle we will seek to get
advice from their HR department and if they have any known
property agents.

44. Creating a world-class infrastructure in your city
Simon Roberson
Regional Partnership Director, BT Group

46. Fibre: regenerating local economies
Research based on rural, town and city case studies found that the
roll-out of fibre broadband could create an increase of between 0.3
and 0.5% growth in GVA over 15 years
This is a result of superfast broadband:
– Improving business performance - allowing businesses to
operate more efficiently and develop new products and services
– Enabling new start up businesses
– Facilitating job creation
– Enabling flexible home working
Examples: London & Sunderland
– BT’s roll-out of superfast broadband could create £20 billion in GVA for the London
economy and £296 million in GVA for the Sunderland economy over 15years
– When London and Sunderland have 100% access to fibre broadband a further £5.6
billion of GVA for London and £99 million of GVA for Sunderland could be
generated
Source: Regeneris Economic Impact report, April 2012 - www.btsocialstudy.co.uk
47. Fibre – enabling job creation
• Set up in 2008 by 3 inspirational young men in
their home town of Newcastle, N Ireland
• While studying Civil Engineering, they were highly doubtful of securing jobs in their
chosen field once they graduated, so they set up their own business instead
• Conduct energy assessments for building firms and councils across Ireland, and
winning contracts in Great Britain too
• Work is centred on large graphics files produced by architects, and complex computer
programme to assess energy efficiency
• Fibre connection means they can send and receive large files electronically, and can
compete successfully with competitors more local to potential clients
• Ability to locate in their home town has kept office accommodation costs down
48. Fibre – saving money & improving customer
experience
• A family picture framing business
• Based in Warren point, rural County Down
• Building up business outside of Northern Ireland using their website as the
main sales and engagement tool
• Saving £6,000 per month in catalogue production and distribution costs
• Able to increase number and quality of graphics on the website from 50 to
1000, and now to using YouTube to demonstrate their craftsmanship
• Improving point-of-sale experience – electronic catalogues arrive while they
speak on the phone, not 30 minutes later
49. Our Superfast broadband
Fibre available to two-thirds of UK premises by end of 2014 – 11 million
premises already passed.
Main deployment via street cabinets delivering speeds of up to 80Mbps
downstream and up to 20Mbps upstream
Our direct fibre to the premises service is in early market deployment in
locations across the UK, coming to Newcastle in 2013
Delivering speeds of 300Mbps downstream and 30Mbps upstream today
We’ve created a fibre solution for office blocks – a UK first
- and apartment buildings
And from Spring 2013 it’s available “ON DEMAND”
to anyone in a fibre-enabled area
