Barton-on-Sea businessman and
Member of the Vizzit Sway Manor
Business Club Roger Colmer (of RGR
Business Consultants) has been
offered a role in exploring the current
and future needs for skilled people in
the Welsh energy business. The Welsh
Assembly has asked that a structured
and coordinated approach be made
to examining the current skill sets and
the types of competencies needed
for the future. With the demise of the
underground coal mining industry in
Wales and the expansion of new energy
related businesses, the Principality is
keen to investigate the people aspect of
this changing world.
Through his association with a young
dynamic company called Getenergy
Ltd., Roger and his colleagues
have been asked to construct and
facilitate a one day session involving
representatives from Government,
Academia, and Industry. The format
used will be based on a model which is
committed to bringing people together
| without barriers, and created and
delivered extensively across the globe
by Getenergy over the last three years.
Although many mourn the passing
of the underground coal industry it is
encouraging that the building of two
large LNG regassification plants in
South Wales will mean that it is through
this gateway that some 30% of the
UK’s future gas supplies will come.
With the strong Atlantic winds and the
second highest tidal rises in the world
the Principality is also well located
geographically for exploring wind and
wave power as efficient alternatives, or
supplements to fossil fuels.
Asked about his contribution Roger
said, “It is exciting to be asked to
facilitate this programme and to
see that all sectors are combining
to help raise skills and focus on the
competencies needed for future
business success.” To contact Roger
