Additionally, Paul will use his extensive technical expertise to support the UK engineering team in executing exciting and technically challenging riser and conductor engineering projects, which were recently awarded to 2H in Norway and beyond.”

Hopkins commented, “I am delighted to return to 2H, and I look forward to the many opportunities ahead to further grow 2H Offshore’s business in Norway.”
