It was our honour to celebrate the retirement of our Director, Liz Marquis earlier this month.
Liz was a founding member of the Energy Agency in 1999 and has been a force for change over the last 25 years.
After 25 years of dedicated service, esteemed Director, Liz Marquis, has retired from the Energy Agency. Liz has been a cornerstone of the organisation since its inception in 1999, guiding the team with unwavering commitment and inspiring leadership. Her vision and passion for promoting energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable transport has made a signific impact throughout Ayrshire and beyond.
Liz has been instrumental in managing key projects and initiatives, including the Nethermills Hydro Scheme on the River Ayr. Her efforts have not only reduced carbon emissions but also improved the quality of life for countless individuals and communities in southwest Scotland.
Reflecting on her tenure, Liz remarked, “It has been incredible to witness the growth and impact of the Energy Agency over the years. I am confident that I am handing over to capable hands and that the organisation and team will continue to flourish into the future.”
We are pleased to announce that Alan McGonigle will be stepping into the role of Managing Director. Alan has been Deputy Director for many years and has a wealth of experience and dedication for the ambitions of the organisation. His expertise and enthusiasm make him the ideal person to take the lead at the Energy Agency.
Alan expressed his gratitude, stating, “I am honoured to take on the role of Managing Director and build upon the strong foundation Liz has established. Her dedication and hard work have been truly inspiring, and I look forward to continuing her legacy by driving forward our initiatives to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainability.”
The Energy Agency extends heartfelt thanks to Liz for outstanding service and wish her all the best in her retirement. At the same time, the organisation is excited to support Alan in his new role, taking the lead towards new achievements and innovations.
Wishing you all the best for your retirement Liz!
