IMServ, one of the UK’s leading utilities metering and data services providers, has brought on board two industry experts to its leadership team as it accelerates its ambitious growth strategy.
Emma Askar joins as Chief Revenue Officer, a newly created role focused on creating new innovation opportunities as well as delivering growth through metering and data services. With a strong track record in finance and revenue leadership, Emma joins from Islands Energy Group where she was directly responsible for driving business growth and providing overall strategic direction.
Also stepping into a new role, Michael Erskine has joined as Managing Director of Field Services. A recognised expert in utilities metering across gas, water, and electricity, Michael brings deep industry expertise, having previously served as head of asset operations at ESP Utilities. He began his career as a distribution apprentice at British Gas and is widely regarded as the industry’s go-to authority on distribution and metering operations.
Jo Cox, CEO at IMServ, said “As we enter a really exciting period of growth for IMServ, having the right leadership is of vital importance. Emma’s laser sharp focus on innovation and customer excellence will be instrumental in shaping our future, while Michael’s deep understanding of utilities metering will ensure our expert field services team continue to deliver best in class services across our complex, niche and specialist metering set ups. I am thrilled to have them on board as we grow.”
With these key appointments and the continued support of private equity partner BlueWater, IMServ continues to strengthen its leadership and adaptability as it scales up to meet the evolving needs of the energy sector.
