Good Energy announce senior appointment
Green energy firm Good Energy has appointed a new chief operating officer.
The Gloucestershire energy services provider has announced the appointment of Fran Woodward to the role.
Fran joined Good Energy in 2014 and is responsible for sales and energy origination, marketing, customer operations and the people and culture functions.
She has over 25 years leadership experience from a breadth of organisations including Marks & Spencer, Coca-Cola, Dyson and EDF.
Fran ensures the customer is at the heart of Good Energy’s strategy, culture and its operations, drawing on her early career in retail and consumer goods, and on multiple senior HR and transformation roles.
She is a graduate of Oxford University, a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development and a councillor for the CBI South West Regional Council.
Will Whitehorn, chair of Good Energy, said: “Fran has been a leader in Good Energy for nearly 10 years.
“With her experience spanning everything from HR to sales to operations and risk management her knowledge of the company is unparalleled. She has played a vital role in helping drive the company’s strategy as well as its positive working culture, making her a very welcome addition to the Board.”
Fran Woodward said: “When I joined Good Energy 10 years ago, I knew I wanted to make a significant contribution because it had such an inspiring and vital purpose. Helping customers cut their carbon and combat climate change is more important than ever and I am proud to play my part in our strategy as we integrate solar, storage, heat pump and other carbon and cost reducing services, into the offer for our generators and customers.
Chief executive Nigel Pocklington said: “Fran has been a critical strategic partner to me on the executive team since I joined the business in 2021, whose leadership, experience and critical thinking I know I can rely on. I believe she will play a similarly vital role on the Good Energy Group Board.”
