Rux Energy opens first UK office at Freeport East, Harwich

An Australian energy company has opened its first UK office on the north-east Essex coastline.

Rux Energy, a hydrogen storage firm based in Sydney, would operate out of Freeport East in Harwich.

The freeport, which also covers the Port of Felixstowe and Gateway 14 in Suffolk, offers tax and duty breaks to encourage business activity.

Its chief executive, Steve Beel, said Rux Energy would help to "build a cluster of progressive clean energy" in the area.
