Aberdeen-based energy services company Three60 Energy has appointed a new engineering director who joins the company’s engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPC&C) team.

Three60 Energy said on Wednesday that it appointed Gareth Broxton as an engineering director in the EPC&C team.

Broxton will be responsible for technical assurance and customer-focused delivery. He will play a critical role in managing and developing the group’s multi-disciplined engineering team to meet growing demand from operators for fit-for-purpose solutions that support a low carbon future.

He joined Three60 Energy from Wood where he held several senior technical and project management roles across the UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Throughout his career, Broxton has supported major operators to deliver key EPC&C project scopes including Shell, Repsol Sinopec, EnQuest, TAQA, and TotalEnergies.

Regarding the appointment, he said: “I am thrilled to join Three60 Energy having followed the success of the business for many years. It is an exciting time to join as the company continues to evolve and has very ambitious growth targets in the next three to five years. As well as managing a highly skilled multi-disciplined engineering team, I am looking forward to working with a growing customer base to help them solve their engineering challenges.

“There’s a real opportunity to make a difference. To achieve the ambitious net-zero targets requires a significant reduction in carbon emissions, and the future energy mix will include renewables such as solar, onshore and offshore wind, and hydrogen.

“The acceleration of both emission reduction and renewables projects will require the right technical solutions and engineering expertise to deliver at scale. We will strengthen Three60 Energy’s already strong engineering offering so we can support our customers on their energy transition journey and help them embrace a low carbon future”.

Alasdair Smith, managing director for Three60 Energy’s EPC&C services, said: “Gareth brings an impressive technical track record in multi-discipline engineering and project management. He has already demonstrated strong alignment with our values of integrity, ownership, challenge, and collaboration.

“I am looking forward to working with Gareth as he further strengthens our engineering offering, and supports our future growth as a result”.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
