Global Energy Group has hired ex-Simec Atlantis boss Tim Cornelius to the role of group chief executive.
Cornelius will be responsible for group financial performance, group strategy and transition management from a hydrocarbon to a low-carbon business focus.
Tim was appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Group in early January 2020 and has spent many years as a customer, advisor and public advocate for establishing the Port of Nigg as the UK’s leading renewables hub. GEG is planning a redevelopment of the site to set up manufacturing facilities.
“It is a privilege to be afforded the opportunity to join GEG at such an exciting time in the company’s evolution and growth trajectory,” said Cornelius.
“Their reputation for the delivery of high-quality services across the full spectrum of energy sectors, coupled with the strategic location of their assets makes this one of the most exciting roles in the UK energy sector.
“The Chairman has set a high bar with respect to measuring success going forward and he has built a Company that values safety, quality and reputation above all other metrics. I look forward to working with the team at GEG to build a UK energy services powerhouse that will be at the forefront of the green recovery, as governments target a green and resilient future.”
