The Solar Trade Association (STA) has elected Jonathan Selwyn as its new chair and Seb Berry as vice-chair.
Selwyn, who is director of Solar Consulting Ltd and former managing director of Lark Energy, said: “At a time of great change for the UK solar industry, it has never been more important for the STA to stand up and promote our sector.
“I hope to put my experience to good use in helping steer the STA through the many challenges ahead and I am very grateful to the members for electing me to this position.”
His position comes after current chair Jan Sission, who has been at the helm of the organisation for two and a half years, has decided to step down.
Berry has been serving on the STA’s board of directors for three years and is currently head of public affairs at Solar Century. He said: “The STA can rightly be proud of the Feed-in Tariff campaign it fought last year and for the highly professional resource it continues to devote to crucial public policy and lobbying work.
“Many important policy challenges remain and the STA, as the leading lobbying voice of the industry in the UK, has a really vital job to do in the coming months and years.”
Giles Clark of Primrose Solar, Gareth Williams of Caplor Energy and Paul Hutchens of Eco2Solar have also recently joined as directors of the STA.
