The Kensa Group announces new chief executive officer
The Kensa Group has announced the appointment of Tamsin Lishman as their new chief executive officer as of the 1st October 2023.
Dr Matthew Trewhella will remain as CEO in the meantime, continuing to focus on delivering the Kensa vision and strategy for energy security and affordability through the mass decarbonisation of heating and cooling with networked heat pumps. He will work closely with Tamsin to ensure a comprehensive handover and a smooth transition. As of Tamsin’s formal take over, he will take up the position of director of strategic business development prior to his planned departure from the business on the 12th April 2024.
An Oxford graduate of Engineering Science and Fellow of the Energy Institute, Tamsin will join from her role as chief revenue officer at ENERGYNEST. In this role, she has developed customer offers to provide green, reliable and affordable industrial heat, specialising in thermal energy storage and power to heat solutions across the UK and EU. Prior to joining ENERGYNEST, she also held senior positions at Northumbrian Water Group, Centrica, and BP.
Speaking of her appointment, Tamsin Lishman said:
"I am delighted to be joining Kensa and to be part of a strong, successful and purpose led team. The mass deployment of Kensa’s networked ground source heat pump solutions is the 21st century alternative to gas, enabling the transition from fossil fuels and supporting energy security. Kensa’s offer of affordable, decarbonised heat and cooling to keep our homes and buildings comfortable is an essential part of the energy transition and I’m excited about leading the company in the next stage of growth."
Dr Matthew Trewhella said:
"Ground source heating has so much potential and it has been an incredible 10 years at Kensa. We are now completing projects at a scale and with such positive results that the technology is ready for mass deployment at the speed we need. On a personal level, it has been an honour and a privilege to work alongside an incredible group of capable and committed colleagues who have had the vision to join us on our exciting journey. I am taking a long-planned career break and will be avidly following Kensa’s progression over the next few years."
Lord Taylor, chairman of The Kensa Group added:
"I am delighted to welcome Tamsin to Kensa. Already Kensa has achieved market leading amounts of decarbonisation as the UK’s largest installer of ground source heat pumps, and also made a massive difference to the alleviation of fuel poverty in thousands of homes. Tamsin as our next CEO will lead a fantastic team in ramping up our transformation of UK heating and cooling. I look forward to her leadership and contribution through this next exciting phase of our development which will bring the benefits of what we do to tens of thousands more homes across the country."
