3sun Group has opened a new base in Hull to improve the company’s position within the offshore wind installation, inspection and maintenance services market in the UK and Europe.
3sun Group will support local energy firms such as Siemens who have recently invested in the region as part of their commitments following a number of the up and coming offshore wind contracts off the UK coast.
Graham Hacon, 3sun Group’s CEO, said: “Our premises in Hull allows us to continue to advance our strategic growth plans in the UK. We’re looking forward to an exciting new chapter, strengthening our position as experts in the offshore wind industry. By providing a local base, we are ensuring that we continue to exceed our customers’ expectations and meet the demand for services in the region.”
Recruitment will begin this July, with the aim to provide positions for 50 local 3sun Group employees. The company will provide specialist training to the new employees at their Hull base through in-house training provider 3sun Academy.
“We are committed to employing and developing a local workforce and our core electrical/mechanical technician roles will require the expertise of those who live in close proximity to Hull,” Hacon said.
