Renewable energy tech firm, Shawton Energy, has appointed Martyn Sheridan as its new Sales and Marketing Director.
Sheridan joins the Newton-le-Willows operation from Ylem Energy, where he was Sales Director. Prior to that he held senior roles at eLight and Regus. He was a founding member of E.ON Energy Solutions, growing the 3 person business into a 150-strong team.
His arrival coincides with Shawton Energy’s target to deliver more than £65m worth of investment into solar energy projects over the next 3 years.
Late last year, it partnered with Lazard Asset Management, a global investment business, to drive the roll-out of solar photovoltaic (PV) projects for industrial and commercial clients across the UK.
“I can’t wait to get started and work with the team at Shawton Energy to continue to develop and drive our funded solar proposition to the industrial and commercial market,” he explained.
“Shawton Energy is already well established in the market and with the support of Lazard we can really offer our customers an exceptional solution and become their long-term energy partner to support both their need to reduce cost and their Net Zero ambitions.
“We know there is a massive demand for solar energy generation from businesses but often they don’t have the time, expertise, or money to deliver it.”
Jamie Shaw, CEO at Shawton Energy added:
“Our time is now, and this is an exciting step for Shawton Energy. Appointing key figures from Lazard Asset Management and Martyn will help us execute our group strategy to strengthen renewable technology solutions to industrial and commercial clients across the UK.
“Bringing together this accomplished group benefits all of our stakeholders and is a testament to the strength of Shawton Energy and the future growth potential our business.”
