In this episode of Invented, Samantha Vassallo, Managing Director of Horizon Works is joined by Paul Davison, Deputy CEO of Wallsend-based subsea engineering specialist, SMD.

And in a first for Invented, this episode was recorded live at the Energi Coast Regional Supply Showcase in Newcastle, which was organised by NOF, the national business development and membership organisation for the energy sector.

Operating for more than 50 years, SMD is a true pioneer, and its world-first engineering has helped its subsea partners thrive in the toughest underwater environments, benefit from new capabilities, and grow sustainably.

Paul takes us through the company’s groundbreaking work, from helping to protect the world’s telecommunications cables through developing subsea ploughs, to creating a cloud-based solution for operating subsea machinery, which could drastically reduce the costs of offshore energy infrastructure.

And in a fascinating insight into the company, Paul reveals how a culture of ‘boundless creativity’ is embedded into SMD!
