3SUN Group, specialist provider of products and services to the global energy industry, has appointed Paul King as Head of Commercial and Risk in a move which strengthens the Group’s offering to the energy industry.

King joins the group having most recently held the role of Commercial and Risk Manager at Amec Foster Wheeler. He brings 28 years’ experience to this newly created position, having begun his career with Amec in 1988, training as Quantity Surveyor and gaining qualification as member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors in 1995. King was based in London for the last eight years, working extensively on large capital projects in the oil and gas industry, until he moved back to his roots in Norfolk this year.

King’s breadth of experience and knowledge in the oil and gas industry has enabled him to adopt a management style that lends itself to the renewable industry. He said: 'The majority of my career has been spent in commercial and risk management roles in the oil and gas industry.

'I’m looking forward to applying my knowledge and skills to renewable projects for 3sun Group and my ultimate goal is to ensure the smooth commercial management of projects. I’m excited to be back working in Norfolk. The renewable industry is currently buoyant, and the opportunities to make a difference here are fantastic.'

3sun Group’s CEO, Graham Hacon, is delighted to welcome King to the team: 'King has been appointed for his highly successful track record in commercial and risk management. We look forward to seeing his knowledge and experience drive our projects forward.

'King has been brought on board to help us improve our performance and to mitigate risk. His business ethic and quality of management will be fundamental in expanding the services offered by 3sun Group.'
