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 business, a role the company said is intended to help accelerate its growth.
Amp EV has grown in recent years by focusing on charge point installation and management for NHS Trusts, universities and housing associations. It has completed more than 2,000 charge point installations, and its wider client base includes Cadent Gas, the Lake District National Park Authority and Northumberland County Council.
Long-standing relationship
Alasdair Croft, Amp EV's managing director, said he had known Gibson for nearly six years and described the Fuuse platform and the two companies' relationship 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.
Gibson said it had been rewarding to watch and support Amp EV's growth and that he was pleased to play a part in taking it further. He called the opportunities in commercial EV charging enormous and said he was looking forward to working with Croft and his team.
Fuuse track record
Gibson led Fuuse from its launch in June 2021 until it became the leading UK charge point management system, according to the company, serving clients including Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, British Airways and SSE. He also drove acquisitions and partnerships, among them energy management platform Envisij and driver support provider Everyday EV, and most recently led the transfer of nearly 1,000 fleet and workplace clients and 14,000 chargers from BP.
