Team

Super-smart Abbie has 1st class degrees in Neuroscience AND Law! Luckily for us she has joined Ginger to get some real-life office work experience. Abbie is also the baby of the bunch, smart and super-efficient, she supports the procurement department, making light of the huge volumes of requests the team send onto her. Outside work Abbie enjoys live music, scenic walks, and all things astronomy!

Has a career spanning 20 years in the energy industry. Starting from positions in energy metering and customer services and then holding senior roles in data management and energy regulation. It was Andy’s hair that inspired the businesses name, although several years on, thanks to the grey hue, it’s perhaps time for a rethink. Andy has a particular interest in working with our clients to understand their energy data and is focused on delivering excellent results for all Ginger clients. Eating out and playing golf takes up Andy’s time and when he’s not walking his pooch Poppy Poxon around the park, he is trekking the world with his wife Sam and enjoying new cuisines.

Excel whiz Ben’s role is to mine the thousands of lines of meter reading data, and transform it into meaningful consumption information. Outside of work Ben enjoys bouldering and bike riding.

Is a seasoned energy professional. When he started in the industry, he had hair! Chris is our project specialist who is parachuted in to assist in areas that need some additional support and control, and in our rapidly growing business, he is a very busy man. When not at work Chris is an avid Madonna fan and has seen her in concert all over the world. Thankfully she’s on a break from touring, which is just as well, as he is an even bigger fan of his son – a little superstar in the making who takes up all his time.

Takes the lead in most of our energy and water procurement. Spending large periods of his day on the phone to suppliers and clients Chris loves the pace at Ginger Energy and our ability to be agile in responding to the needs of our clients. Chris is our go to energy guru with a wealth of experience working in the energy sector on the supplier side. Chris is well versed in all things utility and relishes the opportunity to help our clients save money that they can re-invest in their business. He ensures client disputes are resolved, in fact there’s a running joke in the office that he has a hot line to the complaints teams and when they see his number on caller ID they sigh and answer “Hello Chris, what did we do this time….” When Chris is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family including long dog walks with his slinky greyhound Zena. As a recent convert to golf, he’s got his eyes on any opportunity to get an extra 18 holes in!

Hilary joins us from a banking background meaning her eye for detail is second to none. Her role is to ensure our clients invoices are checked and validated. She reviews hundreds of invoices every week, spots the errors and gets them fixed with the suppliers before approving and sending onward to our clients. Outside of work Hilary is planning her wedding to Mo, a client of Ginger’s and a good friend of our business. How adorable is that!?!

Another key team member, La Chere provides support to the business. It’s also her soothing voice you hear as a welcome message when you call our office. From ensuring clients have switched when they are supposed to have, to ensuring the procurement team have all they need to quote a client happy. Daily, La Chere will challenge suppliers on behalf of our Clients when something isn’t quite right and spends hours making sure our clients get the best possible outcomes. Always with a smile on her face, no matter how much pressure she is under. Once a year La Chere takes a 3 week!!! holiday and goes to carnival in Barbados which she absolutely loves although we do not, as we miss her smiley face and her phenomenal organisational skills.

Leminh Tran ( or Mini as we like to call her ) is our procurement specialist and spends her time quoting customers happy. She ensures our clients receive the best possible deals from the market place and spends most of her days onto suppliers challenging their rates. Green fingered Mini is also Gingers very own Monty Don, ensuring all the office botanicals are lovingly cared for. She also likes to partake in the cooking and baking competitions at work and has so far won the soup-off and curry-off competitions. She very occasionally makes the tea, but when she does it’s a winning cuppa. After hours Mini is a DIY enthusiast, festival and live music event attendee, a yoga teacher who loves to help her students relax, become more flexible and realise inner peace.

Is often the first of our team to meet new clients she focuses on looking after our clients, making sure we deliver on our promises and are responding quickly to their needs. Lisa is super proud of Ginger Energy’s achievements and of our team. She’s always on hand to boost us up and loves the fun we create every day at Ginger. Tea Roulette is the highlight of Lisa’s day and covertly filming Andy while asking him ridiculous questions is another firm favourite. When not annoying Andy, Lisa spends her days focused on business development and spends her nights dreaming up new ways to enhance Gingers offering to clients. Lisa’s passion (after Ginger) is for interior design and has recently renovated a 17th century home and its where she spends time with her family whilst she fills them all in on the latest Ginger news.

His role is to ensure they get the very best in service from Ginger and the Suppliers with whom we place their contracts. He liaises with our internal teams and more often the suppliers to make sure our clients accounts are in good order. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Matt will rightfully tell you otherwise. His hard work, patience and tenacity are all exercised daily on behalf of our clients. But if it was easy, our clients wouldn’t need us! Out of hours Matt enjoys a round of golf but his priority is making Mrs Wallis happy as they have just moved into a new home and are busy renovating. Matt assures us the house will be finished by Dec 2021…..Lets see

Excel whiz and has the patience of a saint. Her role is to ensure our clients are happy and receiving our best service. In a department which heavily relies on 3rd party data, a vast majority of time is spent problem solving and managing the 3rd parties so that Ginger can create timely billing. Nikki’s team have issued zillions of invoices, no longer produced on excel and mail merge but in our bespoke software which she helped to design. Outside work she reliably informs us that she loves nothing more than a pint of water after hitting the gym each night, followed by rustling up a Michelin star meal for her family to enjoy. When socialising she may consume the odd alcoholic beverage which she does with absolute grace and decorum. Or at least that’s her intentions.

Previously worked in the IT services sector, both private and listed companies at board level. Now Rob prefers the small and dynamic to large and corporate. As a founder member of Ginger Energy, Rob gets involved in all elements of the business to make sure it runs as efficiently and a smoothly as possible. He is proud of and a brand that is gaining growing attention. Outside of work Rob enjoys spending time on his boat – the Good Ship Shanti – or in the Alps on a pair of skis! Just an extension of the adventure that is Ginger I guess…!!

Ensures that our property clients and their occupiers are happy. She spends her days answering billing queries and helping residents understand their charges or their building infrastructure. Shelley is also a business efficiency expert and has streamlined many processes, to ensure clients disputes are handled quickly and to their satisfaction. Often a difficult job (who wants to receive a bill?) but with her professionalism and care, she can calm residents and provide them with an excellent level of service. We call her “International Shelley” – as she spends her time between Sicily, Bulgaria, and of course good old Blighty.

Is responsible for delivering the long-term financial health for Ginger. Steve cherishes the Ginger Energy brand and the service the team provide for their clients. Having worked in a number of sectors and served at PLC Board level, he ensures our policies and operational processes reflect the discipline and rigour of a listed company. Steve has taken on an additional role at Ginger in supporting their IT requirements. On a personal note, Steve’s dream job was with the RAF as a fast jet pilot, instead he has found himself as taxi driver and motivational coach to his children!

He is of course the first to let Lisa know she has blown the marketing budget. Zayeed works with all the different departments in Ginger to ensure all finance related info is aligned and up to date. Prior to joining Ginger, Zayeed worked for a few high street banks and other finance related roles in accounting. He is currently Studying for his ACCA which he finds very interesting and enjoyable? At home he and his wife have a new addition to the family Eva, who keeps him busy counting nappy changes (all tracked on an excel sheet). On a personal note, Zayeed enjoys spending time with family & friends and playing various sports. His love for watching random documentaries has come to an abrupt stop because his daughter now insists watching cartoons with her, is significantly better for him.
