Energy Transition & EV Infrastructure Leader 9+ Years · £68M+ Delivered
Over nine years shaping the UK's energy transition — from boardroom strategy to operational delivery. As a Chartered Engineer, the focus has always been the same: turning policy ambition into infrastructure that works, at scale and on time.
That means leading complex fleet electrification programmes with the likes of Royal Mail, British Gas, and Uber. It means directing Innovate UK–funded innovation portfolios, standing up battery storage and grid flexibility solutions, and advising executive teams on the commercial implications of RIIO frameworks and ZEV mandates. The thread through all of it: bridging engineering rigour with commercial reality to unlock measurable outcomes for organisations navigating net zero.
Strategic and technical leadership across the full energy transition value chain
Leading commercial fleet transitions from feasibility through to full operational deployment — shaping the strategy, infrastructure, and business case.
Structuring hybrid charging and storage solutions that strengthen grid resilience, unlock revenue, and drive measurable cost reduction.
Advising organisations on how to align commercial objectives with UK net-zero policy, RIIO frameworks, and ZEV mandates.
Evaluating and positioning emerging technologies — battery chemistries, smart grid, V2G — to accelerate the path from R&D to commercial deployment.
Directing complex, multi-partner programmes — aligning government bodies, blue-chip operators, and regulators to deliver on time and within budget.
Establishing technical guidance, specifications, and G99-compliant infrastructure frameworks adopted as industry benchmarks.

Perspectives on the UK energy transition, EV infrastructure, and grid flexibility
The UK's ZEV Mandate requires 80% of new cars and 70% of new vans to be zero-emission by 2030. For fleet operators, the question isn't whether to go electric — it's how to get it right. Drawing on the Optimise Prime trial with Royal Mail, British Gas, and Uber, this piece unpacks the infrastructure, cost, and people challenges every fleet leader needs to address now.
Electric vehicle energy consumption rises by 30% during winter — and battery efficiency drops 7% for every 10°C fall in temperature. Based on real operational data from the world's largest commercial EV trial, this article examines how charging optimisation, route adaptation, and battery pre-conditioning protect fleet performance year-round.
Home charging sits at 28p/kWh. Public charging hits 82p/kWh. That three-fold gap isn't just a consumer inconvenience — it's a structural barrier to commercial fleet electrification. Fleets without workplace charging are being pushed onto costly public networks, eroding the economic case for EVs. Here's why pricing regulation deserves a serious conversation.
