Alex Philbrook bids farewell to ista UK after 27 years of dedication.

After 27 years with ista UK, Alex Philbrook has stepped down as Country Manager, ending an exceptional career dedicated to the growth of the business and its customers in the UK.

Alex has been working for ista UK since its founding in 1999. Throughout his time with ista UK, Alex has played a key role in the company's development, helping to strengthen customer relationships, expand our service offering, and support the business through an evolving energy landscape.

We thank Alex for his outstanding contribution to the development of ista UK and wish him all the best and continued success for the future.

"Alex has shaped and driven our Commercial & Industrial business decisively over many years. Under his leadership, we have continuously expanded our service portfolio and strengthened our position as a trusted partner for energy, data and sustainability solutions. The integration of MinuteView was also an important milestone in the development of our UK business."
