Steel River Quay plays a central role in the UK’s offshore energy transition, but its story is also deeply rooted in the people of Teesside.

Evie Duche’s recent appointment marks a proud milestone for her family, becoming the fourth generation to work on the wider Teesworks site. It’s a reminder that while the landscape has transformed dramatically, the site’s connection to local people remains as strong as ever.

Ally Cameron, managing director at Steel River Quay, said: “Evie’s story captures exactly what Steel River Quay is about – combining Teesside’s proud industrial heritage with the opportunities of a modern, global renewable energy sector.

“To see a fourth-generation worker playing such a key role in projects of this scale is incredibly special. She represents the talent, dedication and ambition driving our growth, and we’re proud to have her as part of the team as activity across the quay continues to accelerate.”

Once defined by heavy industry and steel production, the River Tees is now home to one of the UK’s most important offshore wind and clean energy logistics bases. Steel River Quay has been reimagined as a deep-water facility capable of handling large-scale operations, supporting international energy projects and strengthening the UK supply chain.

But beyond the infrastructure and investment, it’s the people who give the site its identity. Stories like Evie’s show how regeneration here isn’t about starting from scratch – it’s about evolving long-standing skills, pride and generational expertise into new industries, driving the UK’s energy future.

As Steel River Quay continues to grow its role, it stays rooted in the same constant: opportunity for local people and a deep connection to the River Tees.
