Former Fuuse CEO Michael Gibson has been appointed chair of Amp EV’s advisory board and will also work as a consultant to the Southport-based commercial charge point installer.
The roles are intended to help accelerate Amp EV’s growth. The company installs and manages charge points for NHS Trusts, universities and housing associations, and has completed more than 2,000 charge point installations. Its client base also 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. He described the Fuuse platform and the relationship between the two businesses as a cornerstone of Amp EV’s growth, and said he was keen to bring Gibson on board when he learned that Gibson was stepping down from Fuuse.
Gibson said watching and supporting Amp EV’s growth had been rewarding and that he was pleased to help take it further. He said the opportunities in commercial EV charging are enormous and that he looked forward to working with Croft and the team to realise their full potential.
Fuuse background
Under Gibson, Fuuse grew from its June 2021 launch to become the leading charge point management system in the UK, working with clients including Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, British Airways and SSE, as well as thousands more. He also drove acquisitions and partnerships, including the acquisition of energy management platform Envisij and driver support provider Everyday EV. Most recently, he led the transition of nearly 1,000 fleet and workplace clients and 14,000 chargers from BP.
