“We are committed to contribute our knowledge and experience to the Merseyside region to ensure that Liverpool can fulfil its challenging targets for the low carbon emissions plan.
“We will be working with local people and intend to stay in the Merseyside region to ensure long-term relationships with our customers,” he added.
TMP and its partners have identified the low-carbon economy as one of four key sectors with potential to deliver sustainable economic growth across the city region.
Chief executive Lorraine Rogers said: “TMP welcomes Solen Energy UK to the city region.
“The company has a proven track record for developing business quickly once it has become established in an area.
“By investing in Liverpool, Solen Energy has recognised the opportunities available to low-carbon economy businesses choosing to locate here.”
