British engineer Offshore Group Newcastle announced on Friday that it would create up to 1,000 jobs after receiving a government grant to help build offshore wind farms.

OGN said in a statement that it had been handed a grant worth 640,000 pounds (774,454-euro, $1.02-billion) to help stimulate employment prospects in Tyneside, northeast England, where the group is based.
