Board changes

 

Smart Metering Systems plc (AIM: "SMS", the "Group"), the fully integrated energy infrastructure company owning and managing meter assets, energy data, grid-scale batteries and other carbon reduction ("CaRe") assets, announces that Alan Foy, CEO, has indicated to the Board that he will step down as CEO and as an executive director of SMS on 1 March 2022.

 

The Board is pleased to announce that Tim Mortlock, who has been with the Group for over 20 years and has held the role of COO since September 2019, will be appointed CEO from 1 March 2022.

 

Miriam Greenwood, Chairman, commented:

 

"On behalf of the Board I would like to express our sadness at Alan leaving SMS and thank him for his tireless work over two decades. Alan has very much driven SMS forward, particularly over the last decade and following the Group's listing on AIM, a period which has seen consistent and sustained growth as well as diversification into new asset classes. The resilience of the business which Alan has played a key role in building has been particularly demonstrated over the last 2 years in a time of unprecedented volatility in our markets. The Board wish Alan well for the future.

 

Tim has been an integral part of our senior management team and worked side by side with Alan for a number of years. The Board is confident that he is the right individual to succeed Alan and to continue to drive our business forward for our customers, shareholders and employees. Tim will continue to be supported by the existing executive leadership team and senior management."
