Warmworks board names new chairman

Warmworks Scotland has appointed David Green as independent chairman of its board of directors.

Warmworks is a £224 million joint venture between the Energy Saving Trust, Everwarm and Changeworks which installs new-energy saving measures for households in Scotland.

The new chairman is co-founder of leading fuel poverty charity National Energy Action, a current board member of the Parliamentary Renewable and Sustainable Energy Group. Green will take up his new role immediately and be primarily focused on enhancing the performance and delivery of the Warmer Homes Scotland programme.

David Green said: “I am honoured to have been invited to chair the Warmworks board. It is a ground-breaking partnership that is already improving the lives of many across Scotland.

“I look forward to working with fellow board members to help Warmworks Scotland continue to take forward its work with the Scottish Government. The experience of the partners and the strong team at Warmworks has the potential to make a huge impact in communities across the country.”  

Warmer Homes Scotland provides insulation, efficient heating and renewable technologies in households struggling with the cost of energy bills or heating their home.

Warmworks Scotland contract director Ross Armstrong said: “I am looking forward to working with David and am confident that under David’s leadership, the Warmworks Scotland Board will continue the positive start that has been made over the last year.

Launched in 2015, Warmworks Scotland has helped more than 4,000 vulnerable households across Scotland install new energy-saving measures, with an average running cost saving per completed household of £312 per year.
