I am deeply interested in making sustainability a key business performance measure and Grid Edge's proposition will be critical in helping to achieve that. With strong and influential investor backing, the business has a wonderful opportunity to grow significantly from here whilst making a hugely positive difference for all our customers." said Bagan.
