UK’s Gridserve looks to expand globally

British charge point operator Gridserve has founded Gridserve Global, looking to expand its business beyond the UK. But the company does not mention which market it is looking to enter next.

Gridserve founder Toddington Harper, who also served as CEO at Gridserve (UK), will lead the new global business. Roy Williamson, Gridserve’s current Executive Chairman, will serve as interim CEO for the UK business.

As mentioned above, the British charge point operator says it wants to become “a global technology powerhouse, taking the Gridserve name and innovative technology into new markets,” but does not go into specifics. It is thus not clear where the first Gridserve Global charging location will be installed.

According to Williamson, Gridserve has nearly 1,500 charging bays at more than 190 locations across the UK. “We’re continuing to build on that success for 2024 and beyond and will remain focused on our mission to deliver sustainable energy at the speed and scale needed to move the needle on climate change,” he said.

“The addition of Gridserve Global to support Gridserve in the UK will deliver unrivalled focus and technology leadership, which is critical for supporting partners globally with world-leading technology, building on all our successes to date, and supporting our mission to move the needle on climate change. I am so proud of what GRIDSERVE has achieved so far and I’m excited about what we can now achieve internationally through building on our technology leadership position into 2025 and beyond.”
