Lily Cairns Haylor, Co-Founder and Head of Product commented: 

“With EU and UK targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2050, both local governments and private organisations now have a huge challenge ahead of them. Our aim is to support the UK in transitioning to renewable energy faster, cost effectively and collaboratively.

“Through our expanding team we now have the right people in place to support our next phase of growth which will enable us to reach and work with more local governments and the private sector to achieve their ambitious net zero targets.”

Suhas Dattatreya, Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer commented:

“As the UK electrifies transport and heating in a bid to reach net zero by 2050, we are seeing more demand for our energy data and software products such as our Local Area Energy Planning Tools and Carbon Data Services. 

“Our products and tools are constantly evolving to improve the functionality for our clients who trust us to deliver scalable and data-driven software.

In order to meet these expectations it’s imperative we have the right team and infrastructure in place to make this possible.”
