Mr Porter said: “This appointment is a huge honour and, having been with Click Energy since the beginning, I’m thrilled at the prospect of pushing us to new heights. Amid the many opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, I am thoroughly committed to working closely with consumers, stakeholders, and the community to create a sustainable and affordable energy future for NI. Furthermore, I’m also looking forward to continuing the impressive work already being carried out by our talented team to deliver exceptional service to both our domestic and commercial customers.”
Mr McDaid will be responsible for all long-term financial aspects of Click Energy. He will work closely with Mr Porter and other senior management to develop and implement strategic pathways which will help deliver organisational growth objectives.
Mr McDaid explained: "As the energy industry continues to evolve and innovate, I am excited to be stepping into this role at such an exciting time for Click Energy. Andy’s experience and knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to grow and innovate in the NI energy market. We can be confident that under his leadership, we will be able to deliver exceptional service to our customers and make a positive impact on the community.”
