Verditek Business Update
Verditek plc, (AIM:VDTK) the clean technology company is pleased to announce the appointment of Ravinder Shan as our Chief Sales and Communications officer. Ravinder joined Verditek as a consultant with over 25 years of experience with start-ups, including a decade in solar, having successfully completed projects in the UK, USA, EU and India. With Ravinder's appointment now as CSO Verditek has refocused our sales strategy to develop vertical commercial solutions for our key markets.

·; developing a solar-carport solution for a leading, multinational fast food retail chain (2019 global top 3 by brand value);
·; trials of our modules are underway with one of the largest global equipment suppliers for remote and off-grid telecommunication towers;
·; Page Hardy Harris are working with us and clients to offer our solar solution for industrial rooftops;
·; a framework agreement with XNRGI, our next generation lithium metal battery partner, to develop our manufacturing capacity to deliver commercial packages in India;
·; a distribution agreement with Softmetal to prove and sell PV transport solutions for perishable goods vehicles;
·; working with a top-tier roofing tile firm to trial integrated solar tiles for housing projects; and
·; a collaboration agreement in place with Careavan, the UK holiday home company, to showcase our products at 11 motorhome shows and sell our products into their refurbishment business.
Dr Geoff Nesbitt, CEO of Verditek, commented: "It has been many months of work to establish the right fit in relationships that will drive our partnerships forward for years to come, but I am happy with the progress we made on this front. 2020 will be a time to harvest the results of our collaborations."
