Renewable power group Good Energy has made three senior appointments to oversee and drive growth in its services division.

The three – services managing director Carl Hogg, business development director, commercial solar, Ryan McShea and head of business development, commercial solar, Richard Fuell – will also help ensure continued organic growth, the firm said.
Carl will oversee Good Energy’s services business, leading operations across all five acquired entities to manage integration, drive growth and ensure a cohesive customer experience across the group.

Prior to that he worked in the telecoms industry at BT and then Openreach, starting as an apprentice engineer and advancing to senior roles, overseeing field engineering teams and contact centres globally.
Ryan will lead solar installation sales for Good Energy in the commercial sector, targeting customers from small-to-medium enterprises to large corporations and local authorities.
