Great start to the season for Blyth Rugby Club

Earlier in the season, we wished the lads at Blyth RFC all the best for the year ahead, and they're already making a statement with a fantastic 54-22 win over Percy Park this weekend.

We're delighted to be supporting the squad this season and even prouder to support a local club that's representing Blyth so well.

Keep up the great work, and we'll be cheering you on all season!

Introducing The Great Blyth 'Run'

This video shines a spotlight not only on our training campus, but also on the town where our HQ is situated, Blyth!

As the North East gears up for the Great North Run, we're celebrating a unique local connection. The 2026 Great North Run medal has been designed by MUL, the artist whose work also features across our Blyth training campus.

A huge good luck to everyone taking part on the 13th September. Here's to the creativity, ambition and community spirit that make our region such a fantastic place to live and work.

*We do not recommend a diet of b**r and Ice cream before taking part in a half-marathon.

A huge thank you to Gripps Global for recently installing this fantastic tool tethering and dropped object prevention display at The Wind Academy.

As a training provider committed to raising standards in safety for those working at height, it's invaluable to have access to the latest tethering solutions and best practice guidance. This impressive installation showcases a comprehensive range of industry-leading equipment and reinforces the importance of effective dropped object prevention.

The visual display of the Gripps Global C.A.T.T.E. methodology (Connect, Anchor, Tether, Transport & Encapsulate) provides an excellent learning resource for our delegates, helping to bring real-world safety practices into the training environment.

Partnerships like this play a vital role in ensuring the next generation of technicians and engineers understand that preventing dropped objects is not just about compliance, it's about protecting colleagues, assets, and lives.

Thank you to the team at GRIPPS® for your support, expertise, and ongoing commitment to making work at height safer across our industries. We look forward to continuing to work together to promote best practice throughout the renewable energy sector and beyond.
