Evolt Charging strengthens senior leadership team

Evolt Charging has appointed John Betts as business operations director.

The appointment, which coincides with Evolt’s 15-year anniversary, is part of a broader restructure to create a new senior leadership team to drive the business into its next phase of growth.

Evolt is part of SWARCO Smart Charging

Betts joins from SWARCO UK & Ireland, where he served as operations director. He brings more than two decades of experience in transport and smart mobility, including 12 years at Siemens. 

He will be part of a new senior leadership team being formed under Justin Meyer, who has served as managing director since founding the business in 2010. 

The new leadership team includes Steffan Evans as finance director. With almost 10 years in the SWARCO Group, Evans has played a key role in supporting the growth of SWARCO Smart Charging and now takes on a dedicated leadership role with Evolt.

The team also includes: Tom Davies, business development director; Stephen Trayner, customer service director; Seamus O’Dwyer, operations performance director; Greg Longden, commercial director; Danielle Cort, marketing director; Alia Ali, head of Llegal; and Gillian Smyth as HR business partner.

“As the sector enters into an important new chapter, Evolt’s focus remains on delivering future-ready EV charging infrastructure for our customers and partners,” says MD Justin Meyer. “This means having the right leadership in place – people who not only bring deep industry expertise, but who also share our passion for creating a more sustainable transport system and understand the responsibility that comes with supporting essential infrastructure.

“We’ve always focused on growing and nurturing great talent. Our leadership and management teams bring together some of the best in the industry, and I am confident they will help us maintain the high standards we’ve built over the last 15 years – and will continue raising the bar.”
