Go Geothermal‘s team has grown with the additions of Sarah Sparks and Georgia Topham-Venables to the team
Sarah Sparks and Georgia Topham-Venables have joined Go Geothermal’s growing team as key account managers, supporting the renewable energy company’s commercial growth strategy.
They join the current eight-strong sales team led by commercial director Darran Burrage, who joined the company from Worcester Bosch in October 2023.
Both new additions to the team bring renewable energy and heating sector sales experience
Sarah, who is covering a region that includes Dorset, Oxfordshire, and Sussex, has joined Go Geothermal from Wolseley, the largest trade specialist in plumbing and heating in the UK, where she was an area sales manager.
Sarah said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining the company when the renewable energy sector is really starting to take off and I am looking forward to making my own contribution to the growth of the company.”
Georgia, who is covering the London and East Anglia region, previously worked in sales for leading heat pump manufacturer Vaillant and before that for Mitsubishi.
Georgia said: “Go Geothermal is a company with a strong track record and lots of potential and having worked for some of the biggest manufacturers of heat pumps, it’s a great fit for me and I will be making the very most of my existing contacts to support future growth.”
Go Geothermal continues to target new renewable markets
Both will be working closely with Darran to target the new build sector, given Darran’s former role at Worcester Bosch where he was new build director.
Darran said: “We are delighted to have been able to attract people of Sarah and Georgia’s calibre and I am looking forward to working with them both to help further raise the company’s commercial profile.
“We already have a strong reputation in the marketplace, and with exclusivity on the flagship CTC brand of heat pumps in the UK, we are looking forward to bringing our products to even more people’s attention in 2024.
“We are particularly targeting new markets, such as new build development and social housing, as well as continuing to work closely with our existing valued customers to meet all their renewable energy needs.”
Go Geothermal’s recent careers presentation discussed how the company is seeking to attract new talent
As part of its ongoing relationship with Teesside University, Go Geothermal was recently invited to give a careers presentation to students about to graduate and seek employment opportunities.
In the presentation, Go Geothermal’s business development manager, Mark Pearson, discussed how the business is seeking to encourage more young people to work in the renewable energy sector and what we are doing as a company to attract the workforce of tomorrow.
Commenting on the presentation, Mark said: “We are always seeking to recruit the next generation of employees whether that’s through apprenticeships or other employment routes.
“And as a local employer we are keen to retain the talent in our area, so hopefully this little insight into the world of work and renewable energy in general will encourage more young people to consider a career in this sector.”
