Offshore wind tech firm calls in administrators

A BRISTOL-headquartered subsea and offshore wind tech company has fallen into administration with the loss of more than 160 jobs.

Beam was formed in September through the merger of offshore inspection systems business Rovco and sister firm Vaarst, and also had offices in Edinburgh and Westhill, in Aberdeenshire.

The company described itself as a “leading deep technology company”, which used AI and underwater robots to service offshore wind farms.
