Commenting on his appointment at Coolbrook, Savidge said: “I’m inspired by Coolbrook’s mission to use their technology to resolve the issue of industrial CO2 emissions by replacing the burning of fossil fuels with clean electric technology. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to be a part of a company that’s spearheading a clean revolution and working towards building a better future.”
Following Nigel Pearce’s appointment as the Head of Manufacturing and Supply Chain in January , Savidges’s appointment is the second senior management appointment for Coolbrook in the company’s office in Leicester, the UK.
