Low-Carbon Energy Specialist Plans for Growth

Stamford, Lincolnshire, UK - One of the UK’s fastest-growing, low-carbon energy companies, LowC Communities Ltd, has further underpinned its impressive progress with the appointment of Jane Mellor to the role of finance director.

Based at its headquarters in Stamford, the company specialises in the design, construction and operation of renewable energy infrastructure for public and private-sector buildings. Although only launched in 2007, LowC has experienced a rapid rise to prominence in the energy sector - with its innovative approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Richard Griffin, managing director, commented: “We are really pleased to welcome Jane into her new role at LowC. Her qualifications and experience will be vitally important as our company continues to implement its strategy for growth.”

“With irrefutable evidence of climate change hitting the headlines and our Government having signed up to internationally-binding targets to reduce global carbon emissions, LowC’s offering is becoming ever-more relevant. Jane will be a key part of the team and we are all looking forward to working with her.”

Jane had previously run her own accountancy practice, after a nineteen-year stint with the American-owned, Liant Software Limited. Having worked her way up to the dual role of managing and finance director, Jane was responsible for a turnover of £3m and a team of 13 staff covering Europe, Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia.

Married, Jane lives in Grantham and when not trawling through figures, she likes to spend her spare time at the theatre, listening to live music and cooking for family and friends. She also somehow manages to find time to mentor business pupils at a local 6th form school and act as chairman for a charity based in Ireland, which is aiming to raise €3 million to establish a trauma centre.
