Amber energy, an award-winning energy management consultancy and one of Wales’ fastest growing businesses, has appointed a new director as it now targets global expansion having doubled its turnover in 2015.
To help the company manage its expansion, Alison Howard, an experienced energy professional, has joined as a director.
