A sustainable energy business in the Midlands has announced a range of new appointments as part of its wide-ranging growth and development strategy.

Eco2Solar, based in Kidderminster, announced the appointment of its new Operations Manager Jean Woodruff, who has 20 years' experience in the discipline. Jean's remit is to raise performance at the business, which has quadrupled its revenue and workforce over the last 12 months.

Commenting on her appointment, Jean said: "I am very excited to join a dynamic, hard-working group of people who are growing the business rapidly and developing positively in the solar energy industry."

Jean has already made significant improvements to the efficiency of the business, which currently employs 27 people and expects to recruit three more staff by the end of the year.

Paul Hutchens, Eco2Solar Managing Director, said: "I am delighted to have Jean on the team. She brings a wealth of deep industry knowledge of the operations and logistics sectors, which will provide us with a powerful springboard to deliver more and more installation projects, along with even greater customer satisfaction."

In addition to Jean's appointment, Eco2Solar has spent three months building an impressive sales team to help develop the business. The enlarged team includes six on-site surveyors, two who manage the commercial aspects of the business, and four dealing with Eco2Solar's rapidly growing domestic customer base.

"The new sales team has been integral in helping to expand the business. These changes will help Eco2Solar to maximise our capability to achieve our goal of being the leading solar company in the Midlands", added Paul Hutchens.

The new team also includes three sales support coordinators, who handle enquires and advise potential customers on the company's range of sustainable energy solutions, as well as booking surveys.
