I have worked for Flexible Power Systems (FPS) since 2020 and align totally with the FPS commitment to helping commercial fleet operators transition confidently to electric vehicles. But most importantly to achieve effective and efficient operational integration of BEVs. A Chartered Accountant by origin, I have spent most of my career working within and alongside businesses in many sectors and of varying sizes, in different countries and cultures, generally with a focus on market development and growth.

FPS develops innovative, automated, real-time solutions for commercial fleet operators looking to transition to electric vehicle fleet, with efficiency of integrated, optimised BEV operations core to us and our customers. Our shared charging infrastructure booking system and TRU load management solutions similarly drive maximum efficiencies within capacity constraints.

My corporate development role requires me to stay on top of market development, policy and regulations relating to road transportation emissions and fuel transition, including through active involvement in events, consultations and trade body memberships. On the back of that knowledge, I am involved in a broad range of development activities for FPS in the UK and further afield.

We find ourselves working in a fascinating space at a critical time, where collaboration across disciplines and modes is essential to solving complex problems. I believe we are all learning together on the theme of decarbonisation.
