Independent supplier Spark Energy has added big six experience to its leadership team to tackle energy company obligations as it approaches 250,000 customers.
Callum McCosh and Steve Storey have joined the company as continuous improvement director and energy services director respectively.
McCosh was previously head of market planning and measurement at Scottish Power, while Storey was head of strategy for SSE’s energy services business.
Ian Crowther has also joined the company from the offshore sector to take on the role of commercial director. He was previously sales and marketing director at subsea wireless instrumentation company WFS Technologies.
Spark has added to its leadership team as the company enters the next phase of growth requiring it to fulfil energy company obligations for the first time.
The supplier plans to run a “substantial” recruitment drive in both customer service and IT ahead of the unveiling of a new app.
Spark chief executive Chris Gauld said: “I couldn’t be more pleased at the strength of my senior team, and Callum, Steve and Ian add their very specific talents to the mix – completing the jigsaw of capabilities we need to tackle the next stage of our growth. We must be ready for that important step and that is the reason for these appointments.”
“I’m confident that our audited figures, due in late autumn, will show a third year of clear profit, and a substantial increase in turnover.”
Today’s appointments increase Spark’s senior management team to seven members, the others being Gauld, chief financial officer Hamish Osborn, director of customer experience Scott Mackay and director of people and culture John Hawkins.
