Offshore Europe - Day 2 as it happened



Day 2 of Offshore Europe - and another busy one.

First up on the programme the Secretary Of State For Scotlnd, Jim Murphy MP, discussed his plans for a cross party, cross sector task force aimed at pulling Scotland out of the recession and placing the nation best equipped to capitalize on a brighter future.


Rita Steven, chatted about the blueprints for a technology and lifestyle corridor as proposed by the Energetica Project from the Aberdeen City And Shire Energy Forum.

Following an article which I saw last week where someone described the workers of the offshore industry as being eithe grey hair or nae hair, the sector has acknowledged the need for encouraging new blood to enter it as they go forward. But how do they engage with a younger audience and pull them in? Bob Keiller is one of the 'Dragons' who explained.



Into the lunch hour we met possibly the world's most attractive cyclist! is it possible to glam cycling up for a magazine photoshoot? You decide.
Olympic Gold Medal Winner, Victoria Pendleton.


And if you're wondering why an Olympic cyclist might attend.....don't dwell on that for too long, because you then you won't be able to consider why there's a magician called Chris Dugdale there too.



Last for the day, a Captain Kirk style super whizzy chair. (Yes - that's a technical term) Ingvar from Aker was showcasing it.
