SUNBELT Rentals has ramped up its sustainability focus by promoting Christian Spence to head of green technology and Matthew O’Hara to head of sales for clean energy.
Christian will be responsible for leading the direction in developing ‘market-leading’ energy solutions, while Matthew will focus on increasing awareness of green technology and decreasing carbon emissions for customers.
Christian Spence joined the business in 2020 as a sustainable energy manager and was promoted to head of clean energy in 2022. Sunbelt Rentals said his promotion is a strategic move to demonstrate the company’s direction with ‘clean, low-carbon’ energy solutions.
Sunbelt Rentals’ sustainability strategy, Our Planet, is an action plan designed to transform lives and lead positive change towards a greener climate.
Christian said, “I’m delighted to have been given this promotion to lead the business’s green technology strategic direction. This allows us to dedicate the necessary time to carry out all diligence, understanding, research, testing, and modelling to ensure green technology adoption is successful.
“Going forward, I’m looking forward to exploring the future of low-carbon emerging green technologies and markets across all our product lines, including hydrogen, energy storage, second-life solutions, green power generation and renewable energy production solutions.”
As head of sales for clean energy, Matthew O’Hara is tasked with growing awareness and amplifying accessibility of environmentally friendly energy solutions to a wider customer base.
He said, “I’m looking forward to this new role of providing customers with information and advice about clean energy. My goal is to continue engaging with and educating customers on alternative energy solutions, including battery technology, alternative fuels, solar, and hydrogen power, and fundamentally change the mindset of a generator-only approach to temporary power.”
