New associate director as Orchard expands

ENERGY management consultancy Orchard Energy has appointed its first associate director as the firm prepares to open five new regional offices over the next 18 months.

Amar Hussain will be responsible for generating new business and customer service at the Brighouse-based firm which he joined in 2006 as business development manager before becoming sales manager two years later.

Orchard Energy managing director Gareth Henderson said: “Amar’s appointment to associate director will release me to focus on developing our new regional offices.

“We have just signed the lease on premises in Glasgow with plans in the pipeline for centres in Cardiff, Cambridge, Reading and Hull.

“Orchard is doubling turnover year on year and as a business we need to ensure we continue to deliver excellent service to our clients as well as supporting our staff through this period of rapid growth.”

Orchard Energy was established seven years ago and manages gas and electricity supplies for its clients who include Barratts Priceless, Kone Plc and Flamingo Land.
