Richard Mardon to join Airvolution Energy as its first CEO
We are pleased to announce that Richard Mardon will be joining Airvolution Energy in October 2011 as the company’s Chief Executive Officer. Richard is one of the UK’s foremost wind energy executives and will bring a wealth of experience to the company. He is currently Managing Director of Your Energy, one of the UK’s leading independent wind farm developers, which last year became a subsidiary of the AES Corporation.
Richard Nourse, Director of Airvolution Energy and Managing Partner of Novusmodus said: “In its short life to date, Airvolution has achieved an extraordinary amount in securing sites and planning consent for small wind projects across the UK. Now is the perfect time to bring in a senior manager of Richard’s calibre and take the company to the next level.”
Richard Mardon said, “I am thrilled to have been offered this very exciting opportunity. It’s vital that we maximise the UK’s wind energy resource, and there is a huge untapped potential for developing small scale wind projects across the UK. Airvolution is perfectly positioned to explore this attractive niche”.
“I am immensely proud of my achievements at Your Energy culminating in its sale to AES last year. Now 18 months have successfully elapsed, it is a good time for me to move on. I am sure AES and Your Energy will continue to go from strength to strength.”
