Haven Power appoints new chief operating officer

Electricity supplier Haven Power – which is part of the Drax Group – has appointed Paul Sheffield as its new chief operating officer.

Sheffield joins the company from EDF Energy, where he held the position of B2B commercial director before successfully leading the SME customer business and I&C business sales division.

As chief operating officer, he will be responsible for Haven Power’s core business areas including sales, customer services, marketing and commercial.
