More than 90% of businesses are now committing to consider local and regional suppliers wherever possible when sourcing goods and services. This momentum has been further accelerated since the launch of The Supply Chain Promise in early 2025, an initiative introduced by The Supply Chain Network to strengthen connections between local suppliers and buyers across Yorkshire, Humber and Greater Lincolnshire.

A Growing Commitment to Local Supply Chains Since its inception, The Supply Chain Promise has seen incredible growth. Over 90% of businesses added to the Supplier Directory since February 2025 have chosen to make The Promise and proudly display the Promise logo on their listing. Many existing network members have since updated their profiles to join them.

Displaying the Promise badge demonstrates a business’s commitment to the local economy, net-zero ambitions and social value benefits through choosing local suppliers wherever possible.

A Free Platform Empowering Local Businesses The Supply Chain Network provides a free online platform designed to help businesses find opportunities, strengthen local procurement and grow their network. It includes: – The Supplier Directory – where businesses can promote their products and services and find new suppliers. – The Opportunities Map – helping organisations identify new contract opportunities. – The Supply Chain Promise – a public commitment to prioritising local and regional suppliers where possible.

Many organisations are incorporating The Promise into their internal processes, using it to reinforce Supplier Charters, Procurement Policies and Environmental Policies. By encouraging their suppliers to join The Supply Chain Network and sign up to The Promise, they are strengthening local relationships and demonstrating shared values.

Case Study: Hobson and Porter Hobson and Porter Construction Services is one business that has fully embraced The Supply Chain Promise. Joe Booth, Pre-Construction & Business Development Director, explained why the initiative aligned so well with their values:

“It ethically and morally sits well with our company. It’s a back-to-back mechanism for us. Because of the clients we have in the public sector, we have to source local and demonstrate sourcing locally. The Supply Chain Promise is going to be critically important moving forward, particularly around the new procurement act and also our social value mechanisms to show that we have done everything we can in a quest to source locally at the first opportunity.”

The Promise enables businesses like Hobson and Porter to demonstrate social value and environmental impact in tendering processes, highlighting their commitment to reducing emissions and supporting an environmentally responsible supply chain.

How The Promise Helps Businesses By signing The Supply Chain Promise, businesses can: – Identify themselves as part of a larger network committed to local supply chains. – Strengthen their reputation with customers, employees and suppliers as an ethical organisation. – Reduce costs by working with local suppliers and producers. – Access a wider network of regional suppliers who share a commitment to buying locally. – Demonstrate environmental and social value outcomes in tendering.

Displaying the Promise badge reinforces credibility and shows a clear commitment to supporting the regional economy and local communities.

A Call to Action for Local Businesses

“We’d recommend anyone locally, who is involved in the business community to get involved and sign up to The Supply Chain Promise. It’s more about cultural values for us and the willingness to enhance the local economy collectively.” Joe Booth – Hobson and Porter

Businesses interested in joining this growing community of organisations committed to strengthening local supply chains can create a new listing on The Supply Chain Network and sign The Promise.

On Wednesday 18^th March, CATCH hosted the latest meeting of the CATCH Major Hazards Network, held at The Water’s Edge, Barton-Upon-Humber. The meeting was expertly chaired by Dan Rawdin, Risk and Process Safety Manager, SSE, who welcomed over 25 delegates both in-person and online.

Following introductions, the group first heard from Aimee Russell, Senior Analyst, RAS Ltd, who gave an insightful presentation on NaTech and Climate Change Risk Assessments, and why they’re so vital.

Aimee explained how detailed plans surrounding accidents and incidents caused by natural disasters is a requirement outlined in COMAH Regulations Schedule 3, as well as what a natural disaster in the UK may look like.

Aimee then continued by explaining the definition of a NaTech Event – a Natural Hazard-triggered Technological Accident and shared some examples with the group of such events that have already occurred in the UK, before explaining the importance on an Adaptive Management Cycle, and suitable considerations for emergency response if a NaTech Event were to occur.

Aimee concluded by taking questions from the group, before a brief coffee break.

The group then heard from Peter Davidson, Chief Executive Officer,  Tank Storage Association, who gave a presentation surrounding the Buncefield Disaster, 20 Years On.

Peter started by giving and insight to who the Tank Storage Association are and what they do, before giving an oversight of the Buncefield Disaster. Following conversations around the incident, Peter went on to discuss the progress that has been made in order to prevent an incident occurring in the future.

Peter concluded by giving an insight into what more can be done in the future, and how there are still some issues that are being reviewed and practices to be adopted. Peter finished by taking questions from the group.

Thank you to both Aimee and Peter for their insightful presentations, and to Chair Dan Rawdin. Thank you also to Water’s Edge for hosting the network and welcoming our in-person delegates.

The next meeting of the CATCH Major Hazards Network will be held on Wednesday 15^th July 2026 and will be a joint Major Hazards and Human Factors Conference at CATCH.

On Wednesday 25^th March, CATCH held the latest meeting of the CATCH Humber Industrial Decarbonisation Network, which was kindly sponsored by Northern Endurance Partnership.

Chair Joe Howe welcomed over 60 delegates both online and in- person to the network, hosted at Aura Innovation Centre. This network was a special edition, sponsored by the Northern Endurance Partnership who provided a valuable insight with a variety of speakers.

First to present was Rich Denny, Managing Director of Northern Endurance Partnership, who opened by introducing the vision for NEP and why 2026 is an important year for the project. The UK was the first major economy to commit legally binding, economy wide Net Zero target by 2050 and Rich explained how the government have already committed to 2 CCS Clusters (North West and North East), and plan to commit to one more this parliament. CCS is key to stop Deindustrialisation and support energy security, and Northern Endurance Partnership is working at pace to FID in 2028 and be on stream in the Humber from 2032.  Rich highlighted that they are not in competition with Viking CCS – there are room for both initiatives in the region.

Following Rich was Sven van den Bedem, Humber Expansion Manager, who spoke about the Humber opportunity and how Humber is crucial to the UK for meeting NetZero targets. By setting up CCS and the endurance storage, this provides new opportunities for low carbon businesses in the region. The Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline (HCCP) is at pre-feed, with the offshore pipeline FEED having been completed, and the Endurance store is being appraised for expansion. The Humber has access to 66% of the UKs licensed stores – which are the size of Wales, with room to grow.

After Sven was Neal Gray-Wannell, CCS Network Developer for Northern Endurance Partnership, discussed the designs of the project and apologised on behalf of DESNZ who sent slides. Neal covered initial takeaways of the CCUS Humber Survey, to which 35 capture projects responded, who have a 35Mtpa* average and a 49Mtpa peak requirement for CO2 storage. With 21Mtpa storage required within the region from 17 projects. Neal then discussed some of the key lessons from the Teesside selection process.

Sven closed the first session by echoing that they are working at pace, then advised that the development cost is fully funded by the government’s approved project development plan, with over £200m already allocated for onshore and offshore scopes in 2026 and 2027.

Following a coffee and networking break, Iain Harris, Interim Managing Director with Humber Energy Board, opened by discussing that the HEB was set up to help deliver a cohesive voice for the fragmented region – both politically and regionally. Ian introduced the members of the HEB, and that NEP and a further 7 secondary members have recently joined. Ian explained that they are spending time engaging with regional campaigns, skills community, and re-enforced the message of the Humber opportunity as echoed by Rich, Sven and Neal.

Following Iain, Ian Livingstone, Head of Hydrogen and Ammonia UK, Equinor, introduced their blue hydrogen project at Saltend. H2H Saltend has completed pre-FEED and has full T&C planning permission. The project is ready to go and Equinor have a customer base ready to receive the CO₂, however they are missing the critical step of CO₂ transport and storage connection, either to NEP or another connection. Ian commented that other valid projects in the area are in a similar position.

Ian Elder, Onshore Humber Project Manager, NEP, followed Ian, who discussed where the project is today. Funding from the government is around £100M to be able to develop the Humber onshore scope to mid-2027, including how they cross the Humber Estuary and work with landowners. Horizontal drill testing is already under way, drilling from both sides of the river and meeting in the middle, and Ian is hopeful site activities will commence in late 2026. Next, Ian discussed that the development consent order (DCO) the statutory consultation was completed in Nov/Dec25 with 493 attendees, working through the feedback and comments. Environmental, archaeological and geotechnical surveys (53 of 70 boreholes completed) are progressing well and archaeological trenching works (circa 2000) are commencing next month. Ian explained that the aim is to enter into FEED for engineering in 2027 and kicking off FID contracting process in 2028. Ian said this is the start of a busy period for supply chain engagement, and that the framework is being worked on within the next 12-18 months.

The final speaker from Northern Endurance Partnership was Sharon Davies, Head of Communications and External Affairs, NEP, who began by sharing social value success stories from Teesside, such as more than 50% of £4 billion in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts signed. Together with NetZero Teesside they are investing in skills, with 140 young people engaged. They have £2.5M set aside to support social value and are looking to replicate their success and projects into the Humber Region.

Following the presentation, Chair Joe Howe hosted a panel discussion with the event speakers, covering topics such as government, public and industry support. Topics and question also touched on well visibility and advocacy across the region, alongside more technical questions such as carbon footprint, current affairs, energy from waste, electrification etc.

Following the conclusion of the panel, Rich and Joe closed the meeting, thanking delegates for attending and igniting the spark for further discussion surrounding Northern Endurance Partnership and CCS in the Humber Region.

The next meeting of the CATCH Humber Industrial Decarbonisation Network will be held on Wednesday 3^rd June 2026 in our newly expanded CATCH Conference Centre.

On Wednesday 4^th March 2026, CATCH held the latest meeting of the CATCH Environmental Managers Network, which was kindly hosted by Humber Nature Partnership at The Water’s Edge, Barton-Upon-Humber.

Chair Martin Jones, HSEQI Manager at Prax LOR, welcomed over 35 delegates both online and in-person to hear from a collection of speakers. Following introductions, Martin welcomed Catherine Hayes, Environment Agency, who was providing an insight and update surrounding Non-Potable Water in the Humber Cluster.

Catherine began by providing an insight into the study and the necessity for its completion, following the National Framework for Water Resources, which demonstrated the urgent requirement for long-term water needs, particularly within industry. Catherine continued by explaining how the road to NetZero will lead to an increase in water demand, with water being a feedstock for hydrogen production, in particular green hydrogen.

The overall aim of the Environment Agency insight is to determine how non-potable water supplies can be used to provide a sustainable source of water for energy production and CCS, with the Humber Industrial Cluster being selected due to the number of schemes and projects announced for the South Bank, and how the Humber is a region of “High Water Stress”.

Catherine summarised by explaining how hydrogen needs water and that the UK doesn’t have enough fresh water: there needs to be a welcome acceptance to the use of non-potable water and the associated systems required.

Following questions from the group, Martin introduced the next speakers, Matthew Collinson, North Lincolnshire Council, and Martin Collison, Collison & Associates Ltd, who were presenting on the FLOW Project – Farmed Landscape Optimised Water.

Based at the Lapwing Estate, North Lincolnshire, FLOW is a solution to solve the water shortage on the South Bank, by optimising water and rainfall in a farmed environment.

Martin explained how during periods of heavy rainfall and flooding, a significant amount of time and resources is spent removing water from farmland back to rivers in order to keep the land dry. FLOW however is working to develop a pre-emptive system using AI and Satellite Monitoring to shift the paradigm, reduce flooding and capture the water for storage and use when required.

Martin estimates that the FLOW project will initially be able to harness 12 million m³ of usable water, with the capacity to expand to a potential 40 million m³  should there be sufficient demand from industry. Martin finalised by explaining the numerous economic, social and environmental benefits of the FLOW Project, and are looking to have the first usable water available by 2031.

Following questions and a coffee break, the group heard from the final speaker of the network Dr Jonathan Bolland, University of Hull.

Jonathan provided an insightful presentation on his work using acoustic telemetry to conduct marine surveys of fish, particularly European Eels, a critically endangered species which spend a specific proportion of their lifespan in the North Sea.

Jonathan explained how the East Coast of England and the Humber Estuary have been identified as a strategic location for the European Tracking Network of Marine Creatures, and how he is looking for long-term strategic locations for the placement of acoustic monitoring and telemetry equipment.

Jonathan is looking to engage and work alongside companies and industries which operate and own infrastructure within the Humber Estuary, and is available for contact at j.bolland@hull.ac.uk for more information and open discussions.

Jonathan finished the meeting by taking questions from the group, before Chair Martin Jones closed the meeting and invited attendees to stay for a networking lunch.

The next meeting of the CATCH Environmental Managers Network will be held on Wednesday 10^th June 2026 at CATCH.

On Wednesday 25^th February, CATCH held the latest meeting of the CATCH Human Factors Network at The Ashbourne Hotel, Killingholme.

Expertly chaired by Chris Marron, Competence Framework Lead, Dr Reddy’s, the meeting saw over 20 delegates join both in-person and online to hear from guest speaker Johnny Mitchell, Occupational Psychologist, Caspian Psychology Ltd.

Following introductions within the room, Johnny began by explaining his background, and how it had now landed him to be working with a number of companies, namely Mosaic, Tkit and Kestrel on the application of behavioural science to safety and quality.

Johnny began by providing delegates with a breakdown of behavioural science, and how it’s use and application is more strategic than nudges which are more tactical. Johnny went on to explain how by mapping out procedures within companies allows for a better determination of which stage of the procedure is more susceptible to behaviour modification through evidence-based interventions, nudges and system interventions.

Johnny then went on to provide a breakdown of Decision Information, Decision Structure and Decision Assistance, and how using them as consideration for nudges can lead to increased effectiveness. Johnny then progressed on to an explanation surrounding the ethics of nudges, social norms, the power of defaults and how reducing friction and restructuring of the environment can lead to increased safety and noticeably improved desired behaviours.

Following a short coffee break, Johnny then encourage delegates to partake in an interactive quiz, designed to both test knowledge surrounding the topics previously covered, and encourage delegates to share their experiences and network in a relaxed environment. Following the interactive exercise, the delegates were able to utilise the Kestrel Behavioural Science for Safety and Quality Test System, working collaboratively to determine behaviours, restrictions and solutions that are witnessed within their own workplaces.

The session provided an insight not only to the shared behaviours that occur across a multitude of industries but enabled essential brainstorming between colleagues all working within Human Factors and Safety within their respective companies.

Johnny closed the session with a summary of behavioural science within quality and safety, as well as a round-up of the ways in which nudges and the systems he has developed can be used.

The next meeting of the CATCH Human Factors Network will be held on the Wednesday 15^th July, and will be a joint event with the CATCH Major Hazards Network. The network will be held at CATCH and exhibition space is available for purchase.

On Monday 9th February 2026, four apprentices from Stallingborough based training provider CATCH attended a National Apprenticeship Week reception at 10 Downing Street, hosted by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, after writing directly to him about the value of apprenticeships and skills training in supporting the UK’s clean energy ambitions.

Emily Hasthorpe, now a second-year Process Operations apprentice, employed by Lenzing in North Lincolnshire, wrote to the Prime Minister on behalf of CATCH and the wider apprenticeship cohort. Her letter highlighted the importance of high quality, employer led apprenticeships, hands on technical skills, and sustained investment in training to secure the future workforce.

In response, Emily and three fellow apprentices: Harry Hooton, welding apprentice and world skills finalist, employed by Blackrow, Shayden Rodgers, pipe welder employed by GE Vernova and Madeleine Cartwright, electrical apprentice employed by Philips 66 Limited, attended the high profile Opportunities for All: A National Apprenticeship Week Reception hosted by Keir Startmer at 10 Downing Street, celebrating the role apprenticeships play in creating good jobs, supporting industry, and strengthening communities across the UK.

Emily commented, “I am currently in my second year of a process apprenticeship with Lenzing Fibres. During my first year at CATCH, I wrote to the Prime Minister to invite him to visit our site, however I was instead honoured to be invited to Number 10 for National Apprenticeship Week. This provided a valuable opportunity to meet the Prime Minister, engage with representatives from a range of trades and companies, and raise awareness of the work carried out by Lenzing Fibres, as well as my training provider, CATCH. I am extremely grateful to CATCH for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity it has been amazing!”

Lisa Buck, Director of Strategic Communications and Public Affairs at CATCH, said of the visit: “We are incredibly proud of Emily and her fellow apprentices. It is not every day you get to attend a reception at 10 Downing Street and meet the Prime Minister! This invitation recognises not only her confidence but the voice of apprentices across our region who are working hard to build long-term careers in vital industries. Apprenticeships are about providing opportunities for all, developing lifelong skills and valuable hands-on experience and Emily’s letter captured that perfectly.”

Lewis Crowther, Head of Business Development and Marketing, Blackrow said, “We are incredibly proud to see Harry represent both Blackrow and the wider apprenticeship community at such a prestigious event. Apprenticeships play a vital role in developing the skilled workforce our industry depends on, and it is great to see that recognised at a national level. Supporting young people into engineering careers is something we are deeply committed to, and opportunities like this show just how far an apprenticeship can take you.”

CATCH is a nationally recognised, industry-led training centre supporting skills development across the energy, process engineering and industrial sectors. The organisation continues to invest heavily in state-of-the-art facilities, supported by strong collaboration with its members and partners. This includes investment from Viking CCS partners Phillips 66 Limited, Harbour Energy, Drax Group and Associated British Ports (ABP), alongside Air Products and Uniper, as well as funding from the Humber Freeport and ECITB. Together, this support has enabled the development the CATCH facilities, with further investment underway through a new conference centre due to open in April this year.

The invitation to Downing Street comes during National Apprenticeship Week and underlines the growing recognition of apprentices as key contributors to the UK’s economic future and clean energy transition.

On Wednesday 28^th January 2026 CATCH held the latest meeting of the CATCH Humber Industrial Decarbonisation Network at The Ropewalk, Barton-Upon-Humber.

Chair Joe Howe, Net Zero Professor at University of Lincoln welcomed over 60 delegates both in person and online, before introducing the first speakers, Helen Sisson, Senior External Communications Manager, STEP Fusion and Dr Edward Wright, Senior Energy Advisor, Lincolnshire County Council.

Helen introduced STEP Fusion, and their aim to be the first power plant operating using nuclear fusion as a method of energy production. Helen explained the benefits of the process and how their Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production is a pioneering prototype fusion power plant. By 2040 STEP hope to be providing energy to the grid, using their prototype power plant.  STEP Fusion is supported by the government in its current stages, with an aim to bring around 6,500 Construction Roles and 13,000 Operational Roles across the United Kingdom.

Dr. Edward Wright then discussed the Trent Supercluster, in particular the West Burton Power Station where STEP Fusion will be operating. The Trent Supercluster not only operates as an anchor for energy and economic growth within the region, with 3 large scale power production facilities, including the site as West Burton, but also as a collaborative between government and industry across the East Midlands, Greater Lincolnshire and increasingly South Yorkshire regions, with local businesses being continually supported and raising aspirations throughout the regions as the project continues.

After taking questions from delegates, the meeting next heard from Antony Miller, Commercial Lead – Hydrogen, Equinor, about the Humber Hydrogen Pipeline Project. Antony began by explaining how the Humber Region is the best location to be able to kickstart the H₂ Economy and deliver H₂P in both the short and long term, due to extensive skills and experience across the region, access to green energy and power plants that could be converted to operate on hydrogen, as well as suitable geology and geography within the Humber Region.

The Humber Hydrogen Pipeline is looking to connect Aldbrough Hydrogen Store to terminals at Easington and Saltend Chemical Park, the South Bank and potentially beyond to Keadby, all locations which have the capability for production of both Blue and Green H₂, as well as H₂P and H₂ Users. The Humber Hydrogen Pathway is hoping to be selected as the preferred H₂ Network in Early 2027, becoming a scalable pathway to the National Hydrogen Economy, starting regionally within the Humber.

The group then heard from Arjan Geveke, Director, Energy Intensive Users Group, whose members include some of the most energy intensive users in the United Kingdom, including the Steel Industry, British Glass and Confederation of Paper Industries (CPI).

The Energy Intensives Users Group have several focus areas, including the interaction between the Carbon Leakage Mitigation Policies and Review of the Relief Schemes for certain Energy Intensive Industries. Arjan also discussed the about ensuring the security of Energy Supply, before finishing by discussing how Energy Intensive User Group are looking to assist in influencing the Government’s Industrial Decarbonisation Policies.

Arjan took questions from the group before a brief coffee and networking break.

Following the break, the group heard from Georgiana Muscula, Hydrogen Project Specialist, Cadent Gas, who presented to the group on Cadent’s Low Carbon Conversion of Non-Domestic Properties Project. Cadent’s aim is the generate holistic evidence to assist and inform with future policy and regulatory frameworks for non-domestic decarbonisation. They are doing this by visiting a variety of businesses and conducting site surveys.  There is still time to partake in Cadent’s Project, and more details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7419317843810484224

The final speaker for the network was Debbie Baker, Clean Energy and Public Affairs Consultant, who spoke on behalf of The Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Skills Accelerator. Debbie began by indicating the jobs forecast for Hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage, acknowledging where the skills challenges are.

The Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Skills Accelerator have been approved to operate pilot programmes in the North and South West Regions in order to support the skills gap present in both Hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage.

The skills plan has recognised significant issues, including uncertainty in the demand for skills, and a lack of clarity surrounding what the roles will look like within industry. There is also a lack of provider capacity to be able to deliver specific hydrogen training, so the Skills Accelerator is looking to not only bridge the skills gap in their pilot regions, but also work with SIAS to develop Level 2 and/or Level 3 Hydrogen and CCS Qualifications, and are aiming to ensure that careers utilising hydrogen and carbon capture are well understood.

The session closed with Joe thanking all in attendance, and a networking lunch for all in-person attendees followed.

The next meeting of the CATCH Industrial Decarbonisation Network will be held on Wednesday 25^th March 2026, and will be held at Aura Innovation Centre, Hessle, Hull.  This meeting is sponsored by the Northern Endurance Partnership.
