Member News: J+S Subsea Announces Promotion of Matthew to Sustainable Supply Chain Manager

J+S Subsea is proud to announce the promotion of Matthew to the role of Sustainable Supply Chain Manager, marking a significant step forward in the company’s ongoing mission to embed sustainability, innovation, and circularity into every part of its operations.

Matthew has been a dedicated and highly valued member of the J+S Subsea team, consistently demonstrating exceptional leadership, initiative, and forward-thinking. His strong grasp of supply chain complexities, coupled with a passion for driving sustainable change, makes him the ideal candidate for this key role.

As Sustainable Supply Chain Manager, Matthew will lead the development and implementation of sustainability strategies across J+S Subsea’s procurement, supplier partnerships, and logistics functions. His work will focus on embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles throughout the supply chain, ensuring that every stage — from sourcing and component selection to delivery and asset management — supports the company’s vision for a low-carbon, resource-efficient future.

At the heart of Matthew’s new role is the award-winning Legacy Locker initiative — J+S Subsea’s flagship programme that redefines how the industry manages ageing, surplus, and obsolete subsea equipment. By identifying, refurbishing, and repurposing equipment that would otherwise be scrapped, the Legacy Locker creates tangible environmental and commercial value, reducing waste, shortening lead times, and helping clients avoid unnecessary new manufacturing. Matthew will play a pivotal role in expanding the reach and impact of this programme, working with both established and new partners to extend its benefits across the offshore and renewables sectors.

Phil Reid, Managing Director at J+S Subsea, shared:
“Matthew’s promotion is a reflection of his outstanding contributions and our broader commitment to placing sustainability at the core of everything we do. His leadership will be key in advancing the Legacy Locker initiative and ensuring we continue to provide innovative, environmentally responsible solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients and the wider industry.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
