Efficiency gains with on-site co-generation

BSG Team Ventures has been retained to recruit the UK Managing Director and Advisory Board Directors  for a new British energy generation business that targets the commercial customer with a unique onsite co-generation solution that reduces their cost of heat and power while at the same time requiring no up front capital expenditure nor addition of employee overhead.

You can think of it as an "On-Site Utility" offering clean electricity, heat, hot water and cooling to hotel, healthcare, and multifamily housing properties in the United Kingdom. The company sells the energy produced on-site as an alternative to the outright sale of energy equipment; designing, installing, owning, operating and maintaining the complete CHP system. Customers pay only for the energy they need and use, at a rate guaranteed to be below their local utility rates, via a prenegotiated power purchase agreement.

Reporting directly to the President of the parent company, the UK Managing Director is responsible for all activities of the subsidiary.
