A total of 27 entrants have been shortlisted after an expert panel considered over 90 nominees for the eight award categories.

Commenting on the announcement, OGUK CEO Deirdre Michie OBE said:

"This shortlist is a real reflection of the great talent and expertise of our energy communities - those that personify the North Sea grit and innovation this industry is known for.

I am delighted to see this recognition for their accomplishments; keeping the UK's lights on, hospitals running, and transport going, all while really driving industry toward its net zero goals and transitioning the UK towards a sustainable future."

Award finalist Grant Finnigan commented:

"I was thrilled that Swagelok Scotland nominated me for the Apprentice of the Year award. Being selected as a finalist is a fantastic achievement in my journey as an apprentice. I would like to thank Swagelok Scotland and OGUK for the opportunity and wish all finalists the best of luck."
