Renewables developer Banks Group has recruited six new members to join its team.
Clara Thompson has joined Banks from housing developer CALA Homes, as a land manager tasked with identifying new potential sites.
Frazer Harrison has joined as an engineer from engineering outfit Sweco.
Robin Winstanley joins the company as external affairs and sustainability manager, from Ikea where he led the Swedish brand’s sustainability agenda in the UK and Ireland.
Alan Wells and Grant Mollinson have joined as senior and assistant project managers respectively,
Gregor Hogg has joined Banks in business development manager role.
Banks Group development director Andrew Liddell (pictured, right) said: “The implications of a positive government renewable energy policy, already evident in Scotland and hopefully emerging at Westminster, paired with having two great developments live, are that we are able to take bigger steps forward across the whole business.
“We’ve recruited to help us cover a range of professional areas, from technical roles through to planning and community relations.”
He added: “The attitude from the new team members, who have joined at a hugely turbulent time for the whole country, has been first class and they are already helping shape the future of the business.
“Having new thinking added to our vast existing experience is also going to be crucial as we go on to explore lots of exciting new areas, including energy storage and solar projects and combining our expertise in property and renewables to help shape cutting-edge sustainable housing.”
