Peel NRD MD stepping down to ‘explore new challenges’

Peel NRE Managing Director, Myles Kitcher has announced that he is stepping down from his role after 22 years running Peel’s Natural Resources and Energy business.

Myles has been instrumental in the creation of the Peel NRE business that invests in the low carbon and circular economy sectors.

Its investments cover energy from waste, renewable energy, electric vehicle charging, district heating and materials management.

It also includes the development of Peel NRE’s flagship strategic energy and resource hub, Protos, which has delivered more than £550m of investment to date. Myles is a founder member of Net Zero North West and has chaired the organisation.

He said: “I have decided to step down from my position as Managing Director of Peel NRE. Peel has been a great and supportive place to deliver innovative and forward thinking investment and development.

“It has been a fascinating and fulfilling 22 years, but now is the time to explore new challenges at an exciting time for the sector.”

Steven Underwood, Peel Group Chief Executive, said: “I would like to thank Myles for his commitment and dedication to the growth of the Peel NRE business and wish him the best in the next chapter of his career.”
