Team members working on the development of a massive wind farm have jumped out of a plane for armed forces veterans.

Five people working on Vattenfall’s Norfolk Offshore Wind Zone have raised more than £2,220, for Walking with the Wounded, a north Norfolk-based charity which helps find armed forces personnel to find work, mental health support and care. 

One of them, Denise Hone, said of the skydive, which took place at Beccles:  “To put my fear of heights into context, when booking hotel rooms, I ask to be on a low level, you won’t catch me on rollercoasters."

The Vattenfall team joined seven other energy industry skydivers from Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft businesses Armultra Limited, CeraPhi Energy, North Star Renewables, Vectur Energy Services, Windcat and the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).

Together, they have raised a total of more than £8,000.
