Providing HR recruitment services to specifically the renewable energy industry. That’s what we are going to talk about today.  Incorporated in 2021, Sheffield Green is the renewable energy spinoff of Sheffield Energy, which is a recruitment firm specialised in serving the oil and gas sector over the past 30 years.  The subsidiary provides end-to-end services ranging from supplying technical and management staff to peripheral services including training as well as administrative paperwork.  We’re talking about Sheffield Green because it has recently completed its registration to list on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange.  The firm is offering 24.0 million shares, of which 3.6 million are for public offering.

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Bryan Kee, Chairman, CEO and Executive Director, Sheffield Green.
