Horizon Works: Offshore Wind North East sparks major strategic collaboration

Posted on 02 November 2026

Offshore Wind North East often proves to be a launchpad for new partnerships and projects.

And for NOF members Tekmar Group and Horizon Works, that was certainly the case last year.

Tekmar Group first met Horizon Works when the industrial marketing specialist exhibited at OWNE 2025.

The conversation led to Horizon Works being commissioned to deliver a new unified brand for the global asset protection technology and offshore energy services provider.

The new brand, Tekmar, was launched at Global Offshore Wind in June. It brought together Tekmar Energy, Pipeshield and Ryder under a single identity to better reflect how the business operates.

It reflected the evolution of the business and created a clearer, stronger platform from which to support customers operating across the offshore energy and marine infrastructure sectors.

Horizon Works led the brand strategy, visual identity, website design and development, and has supported Tekmar with the wider brand rollout.

For many years, Tekmar Group's companies worked together to deliver engineering expertise, specialist technologies and offshore services on some of the world's most complex offshore projects. The transition to a single Tekmar brand formalised this approach.

Backed by more than 40 years of experience, Tekmar has helped protect over 50GW of installed offshore wind capacity and supports offshore energy and marine infrastructure projects in more than 25 countries.

The brand simplifies how Tekmar presents these capabilities to the market, providing greater clarity for customers, partners and investors while strengthening the company's position in key growth markets including offshore wind, oil and gas, marine infrastructure and interconnectors.

Samantha Vassallo, Managing Director of Horizon Works, said: “We are firm advocates of Offshore Wind North East as we know just how important the event is in bringing the supply chain together, and our experience last year demonstrates this!

“From that initial conversation at OWNE 25, we became part of a major strategic project for Tekmar, and we are very proud to have brought Tekmar's vision to life by creating its new brand and website.”

Michael Manning, Head of Marketing at Tekmar, said: “The team created a fantastic new look and feel for our unified brand and we had great feedback from customers and important stakeholders. It was a pleasure working with Horizon Works on this project.”

Based in Blyth, Northumberland, Horizon Works acts as a specialist marketing partner to advanced, fast-growth engineering, manufacturing, technology and innovation-led businesses.
