Meet the team behind our MachairWind offshore wind project.

Mandy Gloyer

Head of Development, Scotland

I am Head of Offshore Development for Scotland. With an environmental background, and a passion to address climate change, delivering environmentally responsible development, I have worked for SPR for over 14 years, leading environmental, planning policy, stakeholder, leasing and development teams. Living in Glasgow, I enjoy practicing yoga and Pilates, and spending time with my young daughter.

Kiera Wilson

Senior Project Manager and Development Lead

I have over 10 years’ experience in the renewables sector, including 8 in offshore wind. As the Development Lead for MachairWind, it is my role to lead the project through the development stage and up to construction. Having grown up on the West Coast I am passionate about the project and am committed to ensuring we are a good neighbour to local communities, and that we develop MachairWind in a responsible way.

I have come from an engineering background, bringing international experience from France, Taiwan, Denmark and the US to SPR since 2019. In my spare time I enjoy hillwalking or mountain-biking.

Joanne Cochrane

I’ve been working with ScottishPower for 33 years but recently joined the MachairWind Team in September 2023.

I joined the team in April 2023 and am the local ‘on the ground’ point of contact for the MachairWind project, working closely with our local host communities. I have lived on Jura since 2005 and have a background of community engagement assisting with the development, implementation and management of local community action plans.
