Following the successful launch of its People Plus service last year, Marex is highlighting the model’s impact through a milestone year of partnership with a major UK energy operator.
While the service was officially introduced to the wider market last autumn, it has already proven its worth by providing 52 weeks of uninterrupted technical authority (TA) support throughout 2025.
Delivering resilience in a niche market
Securing consistent, high-level technical expertise remains a significant challenge for the energy sector. Traditional recruitment often results in resource gaps or competency concerns from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
People Plus was designed to eliminate these risks by providing clients with vetted specialists who are backed by the collective expertise of the entire Marex team.
Proving the model: 100% coverage since January 2025
Evidence of the effectiveness of this approach comes with the recent completion of a full year of continuous marine TA support for a UKCS operator. Despite the service’s recent public launch, the team believes this engagement demonstrates the long-term reliability of the People Plus framework.
Key successes from this 12-month period include:
- verified competency: every specialist provided underwent formal validation by Marex’s senior leadership to ensure the highest standards of technical input
- operational continuity: the service successfully managed transitions between specialists with no impact on the client’s compliance or safety standards
- guaranteed backfill: the role was fully covered during all planned absences and holidays, ensuring the client never faced a gap in this critical function
- the Marex collective: assigned specialists had direct access to Marex’s decades of experience across marine, safety and hazardous offshore operations
A cost-effective solution
The success of this year-long engagement illustrates why People Plus is becoming the preferred choice for businesses seeking an alternative to increasing internal headcount.
By choosing this model, the operator secured a year of uninterrupted technical governance that stands up to the most rigorous scrutiny while reducing traditional recruitment costs.
“The success of this partnership over the last year, coinciding with our official launch in September, proves that People Plus is the right solution for the current market,” said Marex managing director Wayne Henderson.
“We are providing more than just a person. We are providing guaranteed access to a collective of experts.”
