Accomplished finance leader joins UPOWA to help accelerate growth journey
UPOWA is delighted to announce the appointment of Paul Cole as its new Finance Director. This move aligns with the business’s next phase of growth as changes to Part L and Part S of the Building Regulations drive up demand for solar PV, battery storage and EV charging technologies.
Paul brings with him a wealth of finance experience having worked in the housebuilding and construction industry for more than 14 years. He will take responsibility for all financial operations as well as further driving the business’ expansion plans.
Before joining UPOWA, Paul held several senior positions in finance with the Saint-Gobain Group, with experience ranging from supply chain logistics and commercial buying but, most recently as Financial Controller for Roofspace Solutions within its off-site solutions division.
He was responsible for leading the financial performance, helping to transform Roofspace into a more data driven company and a trusted delivery partner for developers and housebuilders.
“This is a significant appointment for UPOWA and I am delighted to have Paul and his expertise on board. He brings extensive financial experience within the housebuilding sector so is well-placed to support the success of the business at a time of strategic expansion.
I look forward to working closely with him and our highly skilled and talented team to build a strong and resilient business and ensure we continue to deliver a first-class service for our clients.”
“I am delighted to join UPOWA and lead on the financial and commercial direction to help achieve its strategic growth targets. Being part of a team that prides itself on quality and service, coupled with a commitment to a more sustainable future is an exciting prospect.
I am relishing the opportunity to help UPOWA capitalise on its huge potential and ensure it becomes the number one provider of sustainable technology solutions.”
This latest senior appointment comes during a year of positive transition and success for UPOWA. This included Paul Terry joining UPOWA as Managing Director and securing solar PV supplier partnerships with Barratt Developments, Redrow and Bargate Homes
