Meet the board
Sir Peter Thompson - Chairman
The Company is chaired by Sir Peter Thompson, who has an exceptional business record, being one time chairman of NFC Plc, F.I. Group Plc, Community Hospitals Plc and Proshare.
He led the successful employee buy-out of NFC from the Government and as a result of its success, many of the drivers and fitters who invested in the company saw their share values rise 120 times over a 9 year period.
A similar pattern followed when the F.I.GROUP employee buy-out was achieved in 1991. His success presiding over innovative and different company ownership models has seen him take a particularly keen interest in the wider share ownership opportunities the radical structure of green energy uk presents, not to mention the environmental benefits it can generate.
Douglas Stewart - Chief Executive Officer
Doug is a graduate of Southampton University (Economics & Law) and spent his formative career at Ford Motor Company in a number of sales and service roles including some interesting years in Northern Ireland. From Ford he joined a start-up recruitment exhibition company specialising in Information Technology markets which became the largest of its kind, before setting up his own business retailing Volkswagen and Audis as a Franchised dealer.
Having sold the motor business at the turn of the millennium, he found himself in the fortunate position of being able to choose and decide what to do next. The blueprint was an ethically sound business that made a contribution to the wider issues of life through commerce.
Deciding the newly deregulated electricity markets offered just such an opportunity, he formed Green Energy (UK) plc, with the express intent, shared by the rest of the Board, of offering a product that rewarded consumers who took active steps to do something about the wider environmental issues we face.

He is a calculated risk taker as any mountaineer is and has researched and delivered on a number of varied commercial enterprises from bar-coding to precision instruments in a number of roles ranging from CFO to CEO
