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.

"And the northeast economy shares in the benefit with the creation of up to 1,000 long term jobs."
