Two years on from a management buyout of the subsea controls engineering division of SEA (part of Cohort plc), J+S Subsea Limited has just been named as this year’s sustainability winner in the Decom Awards, and is on track to deliver turnover of £10 million in the coming years thanks to a significant uplevelling in its commitment to the circular economy.

Central to the company’s growth and net zero focus will be the innovative Legacy Locker which facilitates the reuse, refurbishment, and recycling of subsea equipment.  As well as unlocking capital tied up in unwanted equipment, the system also helps users to boost their environmental credentials by finding ways to reduce waste.

We remain committed to our journey towards net zero by focusing on collaboration and innovation, and we look to the future with confidence and optimism.”
