I post as Mcfly on advfn. I took part in the placing and had a call with the company.
Very impressed with Rob. As previously mentioned, he is laser focused on sales and making the company profitable.
His initial focus will be installations currently using diesel power generation that can be converted to solar, namely oil and gas, mining and military. The economics are extremely good for the end user compared to diesel and have other benefits (reduces need for diesel supply runs, risk of interruption of diesel supply etc).
He can leverage his background and contacts to drive sales quickly. The 14 April RNS gives Rob’s background and track record of sales generation, including this paragraph on his previous role at Ecolog:
‘Rob developed and initiated the market strategy and project pipeline of $ 170 M in four months, targeting Oil & Gas and independent power producers with a focus on renewable and hybrid power solutions.’
So he’s been working in the precise industry that we need, with renewable power solutions and hybrid power solutions (e.g. combining solar and diesel, which is what these types of installations will require). He’s also got a proven sales record in this industry and contacts in the industry.
He was very bullish. They only need a tiny fraction of the addressable market in order to fill the 20MW factory.
