Marek Majewicz, who served as Bristol Energy’s interim managing director since the departure of Peter Haigh, has had his role confirmed.
Majewicz, who also served as the company’s interim finance director, took over as interim MD shortly before last Christmas after founder Haigh stepped down.
Before joining the council-owned supplier in the summer of last year, Majewicz had a long finance career in the oil and gas sector. He has previously worked as head of finance for what was Shell Gas Direct, later taken over by Dong, now Orsted.
The news comes as the challenger brand announced today (28 August) it has attained a milestone 100,000 customers.
The supplier was launched in 2015 and is currently working towards a target of helping its home city to become carbon neutral by 2030.
The company says it has so far invested £12 million in “social value” back into the city through carbon reduction schemes, volunteering, local employment and wellbeing initiatives.
Majewicz said: “We’re incredibly excited to have reached 100,000 customers.
“Each and every one of them is helping us create a truly sustainable city. Choosing a supplier that invests in communities and clean energy is becoming increasingly important to people.
“We’re delighted that we can give people that choice.”
Bristol recently reported “stabilised losses”, putting the company slightly ahead of plan, in its annual results.
The challenger supplier reported an operating loss of £10.1 million in the year to the end of March 2019, compared to -£10.3 million the year previously.
Bristol has previously said it expects to be in the black by 2021.
