Alan joined the Board of the STA two years ago and has taken an active role in several STA projects. He is an accountant by qualification and is currently Managing Director of Riomay Ltd, a renewable energy installer focussed on both solar thermal and PV.
Alan spent 10 years with the management consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) where he was advising large businesses on how to improve financial performance. This was followed by 13 years successfully leading businesses in Managing Director roles.
Alan Aldridge comments:
Over the last four years at Riomay, I have faced many of the same challenges as other STA members, such as dealing with the impact of legislation and tariff changes, market uncertainty, and challenges in business planning and price variations.
Hopefully the hardest part is behind us now, and with a bit more work, we can get solar on a path to long term sustainable growth.
But now is not the time for complacency. I firmly believe that a strong voice in the industry is essential, and I will do my best to ensure that the STAs voice is heard.
The STA is working to secure the place of PV in the UK Renewable Energy Roadmap, and to secure a viable future for solar thermal under the RHI.
