Stalwart ILP member Nathan French has joined Charles Endirect as its new sales and marketing director.
Nathan, formerly of ASD Lighting, is a two-time past Chair for the ILP’s London and South East Region and said of his latest move: “I’m excited to be joining Charles Endirect. The company’s reputation as a UK engineering business targeting innovation and quality, along with its strong people-focused principles makes this an organisation I’m keen to be part of.
“There are many changes impacting the street/highways lighting and EV sectors at the moment, from intelligent lighting systems to energy-efficient power distribution, all while remaining mindful of minimising environmental impact. Charles Endirect has both the capability and ambition to be at the forefront of creating and realising solutions.”
As well as getting to grips with his new role, Nathan is busy preparing to run in this year’s London Marathon, later this month.
“Last year, I ran my first marathon. The first half went well… the second half was mostly walking after my knees gave up! This year, despite a much shorter training window, I hope to fulfil my personal ambition of running the whole route,” he said.
Nathan will be raising money for the National Autistic Society. “This charity does incredible work supporting autistic people across the UK, providing advice, resources and advocacy that make a real difference,” he said.
