Toddington Harper has announced global expansion plans with the creation of GRIDSERVE GLOBAL, to introduce GRIDSERVE electric vehicle (EV) charging to new markets across the world.
The UK business will continue its focus on expanding its UK changing network, the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway, including developing, delivering, and operating new Electric Super Hubs, Electric Forecourts, and Electric Heavy Goods Vehicle charging facilities, powered by renewable energy, and directly connected solar.
GRIDSERVE Founder Toddington Harper, along with his brother, co-founder and CEO APAC Heston Harper, will now focus on building GRIDSERVE GLOBAL, and GRIDSERVE’s Executive Chairman, Roy Williamson, will take interim leadership of GRIDSERVE in the UK. Toddington will remain a member of the board and major shareholder of GRIDSERVE in the UK.
“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,” said Toddington Harper, CEO of GRIDSERVE GLOBAL
“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.”
GRIDSEVE shares a live data partnership with Zapmap, our users can access the live status and availability of GRIDSERVE charge points at any time via the Zapmap app or web map.
“GRIDSERVE’s business remains 100% focussed on developing, delivering and operating an EV network that gives UK drivers the confidence to go electric with a great customer experience,” said Roy Williamson, Executive Chairman and interim CEO at GRIDSERVE.
“Under Toddington’s vision and leadership, the team has installed almost 1,500 charging bays at over 190 locations, and GRIDSERVE has become a market leading charge point operator. 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.”
