Overview
Our client wanted to assess the best UK location for a new offshore wind blade factory to serve domestic and export markets. We undertook a three-part UK facility location analysis to guide location selection. This focussed on workforce availability, demand forecasting, and economic impact. Our UK facility location analysis work provided a clear, evidence-based foundation for the client’s chosen site.
Key challenges

Key impact
- Delivered a comprehensive location analysis
- Provided clear visibility into regional strengths
