Our aim is to develop sensitively designed wind energy projects globally providing a low carbon electricity supply for future generations. We aim to engage local and regional communities in the movement towards achievable renewable energy sources and targets.
TrustWind initiates, plans and manages the construction of wind farms and is an expert in all phases of wind farm development. We have comprehensive expertise and networks across manufacturers, landowners and investors.
Mission
Passion and Power – commitment to growing globally to benefit all
- Environmentally friendly electricity generation at sustainable economic terms, across global markets from the small landholder through to multinational projects.
Management
Each region takes responsibility for its own management. Although the Australasian headquarters reports back to TrustWind in Nogent, there is also a great deal of autonomy. That is why we have a full division of marketing and sales, human resources, administration and project management in our Bilby office. We can give advice, take orders, deliver, implement and evaluate – a one-stop windfarming shop!
The CEO for the Australasian office, Tess D’Urbini, travels a great deal. Officially, she is based in New Zealand, but she will be visiting Bilby often, and also linking in to the South East Asia office in Singapore.
Harry Lee is the Marketing Manager, and the face of TrustWind in Bilby. He has control over the day-to-day running of the company, as well as strategic planning and advice to our CEO.“It’s exciting news that TrustWind is opening a regional office in Bilby. And that’s not just because I’ve come to live here and love it. My name is Harry Lee and I’m the Regional Marketing Manager for the Australasia-Pacific region, a pretty big area that Bilby is now networked with.
TrustWind is committed to making this work in Bilby. We’re eager to offer new administrative, communications and project management jobs at our office on the corner of Frederick Street and Lambert Drive.
We’ve started to negotiate with some local farmers, setting up some great wind farms models that the whole Asia-Pacific region will want to come and see.
It’s not about tourism for Bilby now. The future is businesses and projects that still engage visitors but as an example of how a region can be rejuvenated creatively and also be economically sustainable. Our visitors will want to see the powerful wind farms at the back of Chops Lambert’s place, or the Climate Change information Centre we’ll set up here in town. They’ll want to explore Mike Agostini’s four-star restaurant and vineyard, experience the museum and art gallery and the tours of Material Designs, the fabric designs factory, which a classic model of a twenty-first-century workplace.
This place is diverse and starting to buzz with energy. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Memphis Manifesto. It’s an outcome from a 2003 summit developing ways of regenerating cities through encouraging ways of design-thinking. The Manifesto contains a list of ten principles for developing a future driven by the power of ideas, the growth engines of tomorrow.
TrustWind wants to help generate a creative community of ideas like the Manifesto describes – vibrant, humanising places, nurturing personal growth, sparking cultural and technological breakthroughs, producing jobs and wealth, and accepting a variety of lifestyles and culture.
That’s a great vision and there’s lots of collaborations in Bilby to help make it happen.”
