Amp EV, a Southport-based commercial charge point installer, has appointed Michael Gibson, former chief executive of charge point management platform Fuuse, as chair of its advisory board.
Gibson will also act as a consultant to the company. Amp EV said the arrangement is intended to accelerate a growth path built on delivering charge point installation and management to organisations rather than households.
Public sector client base
The company said it has delivered more than 2,000 charge point installations. Its clients include NHS Trusts, universities and housing associations, as well as Cadent Gas, the Lake District National Park Authority and Northumberland County Council.
Alasdair Croft, Amp EV's managing director, said the two men had known each other for nearly six years and described the Fuuse platform and the relationship between the two businesses as a cornerstone of Amp EV's growth. He said he was keen to bring Gibson on board once he learned he was stepping down from Fuuse.
Fuuse background
Gibson led Fuuse from its launch in June 2021 and built it into what the business describes as the leading charge point management system in the UK, counting Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, British Airways and SSE among its clients.
He also drove acquisitions and partnerships, including the purchase of energy management platform Envisij and driver support provider Everyday EV, and most recently oversaw the transfer of close to 1,000 fleet and workplace clients and 14,000 chargers from BP.
Gibson said he had followed and supported Amp EV's growth and was pleased to help take it further. He described the opportunities in commercial EV charging as enormous and said he looked forward to working with Croft and the company's team.
