Energy industry services firm 3Sun Group says it plans to create new jobs at its North-east operations after seeing turnover almost double to £13.7million.
The Great Yarmouth-based company, which bought Aberdeenshire firm RRC Control Services earlier this year, says it plans to create 40 new jobs in Aberdeen, Gourdon and its home base in Yorkshire in the next year.
The RRC acquisition is expected to increase turnover further to £25million for the full 2013/14 financial year.
“We have used 2012/13 to re-invest some of the company’s funds into increasing 3sun Group’s capabilities and global presence,” said managing director Graham Hacon.
“This is in order to reach a number of future milestones, and will be highly beneficial in the long run which is evident from our 2013/14 financial predictions.
“We have established a strong base in the UK and the acquisition of RRC Controls Services has bolstered our footprint in Aberdeen, whilst giving us the ability to serve the global subsea market, offering full turnkey engineering solutions.
“This is set to create additional jobs across the Group, whilst providing an increased support structure to our clients.”
The company, which employs 240 people, has also opened up bases in Denmark and Germany, along with launching a training academy.
