On 1st April, Board Director David Rolton officially took on a new role within the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership, and is now their Chairman of Business and Innovation.
High congratulations are in order, as this sector is doing particularly well; Northamptonshire has been named by the government’s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills as ‘the most enterprising place in Britain’, and in the last month, finance data specialist Experian rated Northampton as the highest scoring location in the country to do business, measured across four metrics: number of start-ups, rate of insolvencies, level of financial health, and business turnover.
We wish David the very best in this new venture, and are sure he will make a great success of his role as Northampton continues to compete at the forefront of the nation’s economic recovery.
Working with Dorchester Living, Rolton has developed an ambitious new energy strategy that combines digital innovation, embedded renewable energy, and a clear trajectory towards net zero for their Heyford Park development in Oxfordshire.
This year Centreco, a UK leading commercial solar energy system design, installation and management organisation are exhibiting and sponsoring for the first time and have invited Rolton to partner in providing their thinking and content for two sessions focused on energy and technology, bringing thinking around this topic to the show.
IMPACT Magazine recently featured Rolton Chair, Peter Rolton and our white paper “Powering the 2035 Industrial and Data-Driven Revolution” which calls for the energy and real estate worlds to coalesce to attract the investment for infrastructure the UK needs.
