It implements mitigation measures using passive acoustics, smart camera systems, and machine learning.
Seiche is accelerating growth to expand further into the offshore wind market, with a focus on the use of clean marine autonomy and machine learning to deliver near real-time data and information products. Seiche is embedding circular economy principles by reviewing the full lifecycle of its technologies from development and manufacture through to use, repurposing, and recycling, ensuring business growth is aligned with long-term environmental sustainability.
To achieve this, Seiche sought to advance its business across three key areas: strengthening strategy and business development to capture new opportunities; launching new technologies and solutions in a cost-effective way; and improving internal processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and support scalable, sustainable growth.

Before
Before engaging with the OWGP, Seiche was a well-established leader in underwater noise and marine mammal monitoring, serving defence, oil and gas, and offshore wind sectors. The company had developed deep technical expertise and a strong reputation for delivering innovative solutions, but it was seeking to accelerate growth and expand its presence in offshore wind. Seiche submitted an expression of interest to join the OWGP Sharing in Growth Sprint Programme, a condensed version of OWGP’s Sharing in Growth Programme. OWGP identified the company as an excellent candidate due to the relevance of its services to the wider offshore wind sector. Operating within the Smart Environmental Services category of the Industrial Growth Plan, Seiche’s work in environmental monitoring, acoustic surveys, and marine data collection supports a critical area of offshore wind development, contributing to the UK’s domestic supply chain and long-term sector growth.
What Seiche say
“
As an SME the external, professional support we have received during both OWGP Sharing in Growth Programmes has been invaluable. Gaining insights to key tools to support business transformations and process development is making key differences to how we think, operate and grow. Making changes within an organisation is often challenging but having the Sharing in Growth team to support us has provided us with key skills and confidence to grow with future resilience.
