媚姬直播 appoints myenergi founder as first Non-Executive Director
Technology start-up 媚姬直播 has appointed Lee Sutton, co-founder of myenergi, as its first Non-Executive Director.
The appointment is the latest boost for the company, which is developing new heat pump technology to revolutionise how we heat our homes.
An experienced electronics engineer, Lee has run several successful renewable energy tech companies. In 2016 he co-founded myenergi, an award-winning British designer and manufacturer of eco-smart home energy technologies, including zappi - the world鈥檚 first solar-compatible electric vehicle charger.
Lee said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited by what 媚姬直播 is doing and its ambitions to make heat pumps quicker and easier to install.
鈥淢yenergi began in a similar manner - we identified a problem which needed solving to make homes more eco-friendly and efficient. Eight years later and we鈥檙e a global company which has sold over 600,000 devices. I look forward to helping 媚姬直播 on its exciting journey.鈥
As a Non-Executive Director, Lee will offer strategic guidance and support to the leadership team of Russell Murchie, Matthew Whitefoot and Andy Mckay, who founded 媚姬直播 in 2022 with a mission to make heat pumps more appealing to homeowners.
Russell, CEO of 媚姬直播, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e really pleased to have Lee on board as a Non-Executive Director. His knowledge and experience of the renewable energy sector, as well as his technical expertise, will be invaluable as 媚姬直播 continues to grow at pace.鈥
The Bristol-based start-up has raised almost 拢1 million of investment to-date, including a grant of more than 拢727,000 from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ).
The 媚姬直播 heating system will be cheaper and quicker to install than existing heat pumps on the market 鈥 taking a few days rather than over a week. This will specifically appeal to homeowners whose existing gas boiler has broken and they want a hassle-free and environmentally friendly replacement.
