IMSERV has made a new appointment to its leadership team to support the leading
data and metering specialist’s ambitious energy efficiency goals.

Robert Johnston joins as Data Services Director to bring further support to its 
mission to improve UK businesses’ energy efficiency and help them make smarter decisions
about their
energy use.

Prior to his arrival at IMSERV, Robert has had 21 years of experience in senior 
managerial roles in the Telecoms and Energy Sectors, most recently at SmartestEnergy
and TotalEnergies. At TotalEnergies, he played a key role in driving productivity
and efficiency to end-to-end customers throughout the diverse TotalEnergies metering
portfolio.
Robert achieved this through driving cost optimisation to businesses 
totalling millions of pounds for metering services and a strong comprehension of
meter asset integrity and deployment of advanced metering for the UK efficiency 
strategy.

IMSERV is one of the UK’s leading data collectors and meter operators. The energy
efficiency specialist is already making a real impact as the UK transitions to a
low-carbon economy by helping the nation’s businesses drive efficiency and make 
intelligent decisions about their energy use.

Steve Brown, CEO of IMSERV said: “Robert is a significant addition to IMSERV, bringing
his wealth of expertise to our industry-leading leadership team, which is at the
forefront of energy efficiency transformation in the UK.

“Industrial and commercial users are more focused on data and metering than ever
before due to the need for better-informed decisions on energy usage and efficiency.

“Robert’s result-driven experience will undoubtedly strengthen and complement our
strong operational expertise while helping us to support more businesses in utilising
the power of good data as we transition to a more sustainable future.”

Robert Johnston said: “It’s more important than ever for businesses to realise the
potential for energy efficiency improvements as the country builds momentum on its
Net Zero ambitions.

“By integrating data and metering throughout the whole industry there is a significant
opportunity for the UK to make the quick and positive progress that we need to see
and achieve by 2030.
“From this perspective, it is a great opportunity for me to
join IMSERV at an exciting and transitional period for the energy industry, whilst
strengthening its position as the leader in the UK for data and metering for both
businesses and consumers. “
