Centrica named Charles Cameron as Group Director for Technology and Engineering

"A key part of Centrica's future will focus on developing and delivering new technology-based products, offerings and solutions to residential and business customers. Our customers want more control over their energy, the ability to use less energy, to lower its carbon content, and to receive new services for their homes and businesses," Centrica said

"Building on the base capability across the Group, and further to the recent acquisitions of AlertMe and Panoramic Power, Charles Cameron has joined Centrica as Group Director for Technology and Engineering," Centrica said

In this role Cameron will oversee Centrica's approach to both technology development and engineering, including assessing the company's technology pipeline, product development and partnerships, and ensuring the company has the right capabilities and resource allocation.
