Amp EV has appointed Michael Gibson, former chief executive of Fuuse, as chair of its advisory board. The Southport-based commercial charge point installer said Gibson will also work as a consultant to support its growth.
Amp EV focuses on charge point installation and management for NHS Trusts, universities and housing associations. It has completed more than 2,000 charge point installations, with clients including Cadent Gas, the Lake District National Park Authority and Northumberland County Council.
Leadership view
Alasdair Croft, Amp EV’s managing director, said he had known Gibson for nearly six years and that the Fuuse platform and their relationship had been a cornerstone of Amp EV’s growth. Croft said he was keen to bring Gibson on board after learning he was stepping down from Fuuse.
Gibson said he had followed and supported Amp EV’s growth and was pleased to help take it further. He described opportunities in commercial EV charging as substantial and said he looked forward to working with Croft and the team.
Fuuse background
Gibson led Fuuse from its launch in June 2021. The announcement describes Fuuse as having become the UK’s leading charge point management system, with clients including Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, British Airways and SSE. He also oversaw acquisitions and partnerships, including the acquisition of energy management platform Envisij and driver support provider Everyday EV, and led the transfer of nearly 1,000 fleet and workplace clients and 14,000 chargers from BP.
