Amp EV has appointed Michael Gibson, the former chief executive of charge point management platform Fuuse, as chair of its advisory board. The Southport-based commercial charge point installer said Gibson will also act as a consultant to support its growth.
Amp EV has expanded by focusing on charge point installation and management for NHS Trusts, universities and housing associations. It said it 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.
Alasdair Croft, Amp EV’s managing director, said he had known Gibson for almost 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 wanted to bring Gibson on board after learning he was stepping down from Fuuse.
Gibson said he had watched and supported Amp EV’s growth and was pleased to help take it further. He pointed to opportunities in commercial EV charging and said he looked forward to working with Croft and the company’s team.
Fuuse was launched in June 2021, and under Gibson it became a leading UK charge point management system, working with clients including Scottish Power, Arnold Clark, British Airways and SSE, plus thousands of others. The company also made acquisitions and partnerships, including energy management platform Envisij and driver support provider Everyday EV. Most recently, it led the transfer of nearly 1,000 fleet and workplace clients and 14,000 chargers from BP.
